I have hit a road block with maintain a single state in azure function. I know we have azure durable function but it also spins up multiple instances.

We are connecting with socket within our code using tcp send request.
This sockets wants us to maintain a single session.
And give it a wake up call every 120 seconds.

How can i maintain a single session in azure application?
Can you please suggest.

    Hello @DevBuster007 , I believe you want each execution to be a blocking call and limit the scale to one instance only.
    To achieve that you could modify the App Setting WEBSITE_MAX_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_SCALE_OUT.

    However, if your code is asynchronous, the same app instance can process multiple requests in parallel.

    You may also check the Singleton attribute concept here.
