System Design on Easy Mode - Durable Execution for Distributed Systems

Explore a 40-minute conference talk from All Things Open 2023 that simplifies system design for senior and staff engineering roles. Dive into distributed systems patterns like event-driven architecture, choreography & orchestration, task queues, sagas, circuit breakers, and transactional outboxes. Discover how these patterns become trivial or unnecessary when implementing durable execution, a new programming primitive that allows functions to run indefinitely without failing. Learn how this approach significantly improves developer experience in reliable backend programming, contrasting it with traditional volatile execution methods. Access accompanying slides for visual reference and gain valuable insights into streamlining complex system design processes.
