Building application reliability on top of infrastructure unreliability

This post explains how Temporal's Durable Execution directly addresses the challenge of building reliable applications on top of unreliable infrastructure. It contrasts the limitations of traditional microservice architectures and load balancers in handling failures with Temporal's approach, where workflows automatically resume on another process after interruptions. The post uses an e-commerce example to illustrate how Temporal Workflows can maintain state and continue execution from the point of failure, thereby providing application-level reliability and answering critical operational questions about request status and failure points.
