I have an azure static web app that gets data via azure functions written in javascript.
I would like to subscribe to external data push services using wss websockets. The socket may be open for up to 24 hours. I thought, having read some answers on SO that I might be able to do this using durable functions but it appears that it isn't possible.
Almost all examples of using websockets in azure I've seen create a server, eg with SignalR, and communicate with the browser.
This helps. It shows how to build a server-side websockets client in a webjob

but as it is from 2015 I wondered if there more recent technologies available to do the same thing? Before I go about setting all that up.
Thanks in advance
