your question is more serverless vs up and running all the time, like with App Service.. Durable Functions is a workflow engine... So a Serverless API makes sense when you call it seldom as you pay only when it's used, so it's cheap because the resource is powered down when not needed. Next time you need to use it you might experience a cold start, a delay in the response as it needs to power up an then answer you.. An API that's up all the time, using, for example, AppService costs a lot more but it always answers fast. So it comes down how often you need to call your API..

I know my question was off topic, Thanks for answering. I asked this question in Microsoft Build Live session, I got answers like it depends on use-case. Yes I agree. So based on your answer it will be not a wise decision to convert all our existing REST API's to Serverless API. So Conclusion is to consider using RESR API's if you want the API's to be up all the time otherwise go for Serverless API and cut our cloud cost.
yes that would be my recommendation.. consider if you have code that needs to run seldom like a new customer was created or a batch job needs to start.. That could be made serverless...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
