Crashes, outages, and edge cases are unavoidable in production environments, but they don’t have to be disruptive. For many platform engineers, managing complexity is a necessary tradeoff for achieving reliability. But what if applications simply couldn’t fail?

This session introduces durable execution, an emerging abstraction that enables reliable, crash-proof execution at scale. By removing the need for engineers to constantly anticipate failure scenarios, durable execution simplifies development and accelerates delivery of resilient platform services.

The session will explain how durable execution works, highlight real-world applications used by millions, and explore why it is gaining rapid adoption among platform teams at leading technology organizations.
