Serverless computing gave us a lot of cool features but took away some basic items like state management. You could implement your own state management but this often failed in complicated scenarios like chaining functions, running a monitoring service, running MapReduce and, especially, waiting for external input (like human input). Not only will we discuss how to manage state in these scenarios but we will even write a simple MapReduce sequence using Durable Azure Functions
