The Durable Task Framework (DTFx) is a C# library for writing long-running persistent workflows (orchestrations) using async/await constructs. It supports pluggable persistence backends and is now community-maintained, with Microsoft recommending newer Durable Task SDKs for new projects.

Use cases

  • write long-running persistent workflows in C#
  • orchestrate distributed tasks with async/await
  • build reliable background job orchestration in .NET
  • implement durable state machines that survive process restarts
  • coordinate multi-step business processes with checkpointing
  • self-host workflow orchestration with pluggable persistence stores

When to choose

  • you need durable orchestration in existing .NET codebases already using DTFx
  • you want community-maintained workflow orchestration without vendor lock-in
  • you need to self-host orchestration with your own persistence backend

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project and want official Microsoft support
  • you want serverless orchestration on Azure Functions (use Durable Functions)
  • you need actively developed features and newer orchestration primitives
