     This exception occurs when the cancellation token is canceled (as a result of one of the events described earlier) _before_ the host sends an incoming invocation request to the worker. This exception can be safely ignored and is expected when `SendCanceledInvocationsToWorker` is `false`.
 
+## Async programming
+
+The .NET isolated worker doesn't set a custom [`SynchronizationContext`](/dotnet/api/system.threading.synchronizationcontext). This means that `SynchronizationContext.Current` is `null` during function execution. After an `await`, continuations are scheduled on the thread pool, which is the standard .NET behavior.
+
+Because there's no `SynchronizationContext` to suppress, using [`ConfigureAwait(false)`](/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task.configureawait) in your function code has no practical effect. The isolated worker process runs as a standard .NET generic host (console app), so the same async/await behavior you'd expect in any ASP.NET Core or console application applies here. This is also true for .NET Framework (net48) isolated worker apps, since the worker process is always a console executable using `HostBuilder`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> [Durable Functions](./durable/durable-functions-overview.md) orchestrators have their own threading constraints. The orchestrator replay thread must run continuations, so using `ConfigureAwait(false)` in orchestrator functions or orchestrator middleware can interfere with orchestration execution. For more information, see the [Durable Functions code constraints](./durable/durable-functions-code-constraints.md).

 ## Bindings 
 
 Define bindings by using attributes on methods, parameters, and return types. Bindings can provide data as strings, arrays, and serializable types, such as plain old class objects (POCOs). For some binding extensions, you can also [bind to service-specific types](#sdk-types) defined in service SDKs.
