Your In-Flight Workflows Called and They Do Not Want Breaking Changes

About this workshop

Long-running processes fail mid-execution. Retries get complicated. Coordinating multiple services without losing state is a constant problem. When your order processing workflow crashes halfway through, recovering safely without duplicate charges or lost data is not straightforward.

Dapr Workflow gives you a durable, fault-tolerant execution model that handles retries, state persistence, and service coordination out of the box. In this workshop, we walk through several workflow patterns using C# and Aspire, all demonstrated live in VS Code.

What you'll learn

• How to implement durable workflow patterns in C# using Dapr and Aspire
• How workflow versioning works and why it matters when deploying updates to long-running workflows
• Fan-out/fan-in, chaining, and external event handling
• Practical code examples you can apply to your own distributed applications immediately
