Building application reliability on top of infrastructure unreliability

What this post added

This post explains how Temporal's Durable Execution model inherently addresses application reliability challenges arising from unreliable infrastructure. It contrasts the complexity of microservice architectures with Temporal's approach, where workflows automatically resume on different processes after interruptions. The post uses an e-commerce example and a simplified two-step process to illustrate the mathematical implications of system reliability and the overhead of traditional microservice patterns. It highlights Temporal's ability to provide end-to-end visibility and guaranteed execution, enabling applications to be reliable even when the underlying infrastructure is not.
