Description

Hi,

I noticed that durabletask-go exposes a clear Backend abstraction with official SQLite and PostgreSQL implementations.

Is the .NET Durable Task SDK intended to support similar pluggable backend implementations in the future, or is the recommended direction to use Durable Task Scheduler for all self-hosted deployments?

I'm trying to understand the long-term extensibility story for self-hosted backends.

Research direction

The issue is a question about whether the .NET SDK will support pluggable self-hosted backends similar to durabletask-go. No files, tests, or entry points are identified; start by locating the SDK's backend and scheduler extension points. Done would require a decided direction and documented support plan.
