AWS Lambda Durable Functions
A stateful extension capability for AWS Lambda that supports long-running workflows by persisting execution history in Amazon DynamoDB. It allows functions to pause at any point and resume when specified conditions are met. The feature entered preview in late 2024.

An AWS technical article proposes leveraging AWS Lambda Durable Functions, Amazon EventBridge, and Amazon Bedrock to transform DevOps Agent investigation summaries into pre-validated remediation actions that on-call engineers can approve and execute with a single click.
AWS Lambda Durable Functions can maintain workflow state, support long-running and multi-step execution, and can pause the workflow to await human approval before continuing or terminating.
Lambda Durable Functions is AWS's follow-on implementation of the Microsoft Azure Durable Functions concept and entered preview at the end of 2024.
Durable Functions enable functions to sleep at any point and resume when conditions are met by introducing a persistent execution history (stored in a backend such as Amazon DynamoDB), preserving complete context and local variables.
In an approval scenario, the Durable Functions workflow suspends after sending a notification and does not consume compute resources, then wakes up when the engineer clicks the approval link to trigger a callback.
