Failure is not an option: durable execution + Dapr = 🚀 with Marc Duiker

This month we welcome Marc Duiker to Liverpool who will be presenting a topic on durable execution + Dapr

Talk

Applications break all the time, there could be a network issue, a cloud provider outage, or just a glitch in the matrix. But as a developer, you really need your applications to be resilient without the need to recover databases and restart services manually.

In this session, I'll demonstrate how Dapr Workflow provides durable execution, which enables you to write reliable workflows as code. In addition, I'll show how resiliency policies in Dapr improve reliable communication across services and resources when developing distributed applications.

I'll go into specific workflow features, such as scheduling, sequential and parallel execution, and waiting for external events. I'll show many code samples (in C#) for each of these features and will run the applications using the Dapr CLI to demonstrate their resiliency.

By the end of the session, you will have a good grasp of how durable execution with Dapr workflow and resiliency policies can help you build resilient applications.
