Building modern control planes and infrastructure automation with durable execution

Infrastructure automation often involves orchestrating complex, multi-step processes across numerous services and APIs, each with unique behaviors such as downtime, throttling, and inconsistent response times. Managing these scenarios typically requires extensive boilerplate code to handle errors, retries, and timeouts. In this talk, the speaker explains how the Temporal team leveraged durable execution - a programming model that enables code to survive crashes, failures, and restarts without manual intervention. By eliminating the need for custom error-handling logic, durable execution proved an ideal fit for building reliable infrastructure automation and control planes in Temporal Cloud.
