As applications become increasingly distributed, durable execution has emerged as a critical paradigm for building resilient systems that survive failures whilst maintaining complete execution state. This session examines why durable execution is essential for modern architectures from multi-step processes spanning multiple services to long-running operations requiring distributed coordination. We'll explore real-world applications and human-in-the-loop processes that traditional patterns cannot handle reliably. The discussion covers challenges and learnings from building automation tools in GovTech, examining how durable execution solves common distributed systems problems like state management, fault tolerance, and observability. We'll delve into design principles that make workflows resilient by default and automatically handling retries. Whether you're evaluating tools like Temporal, Cadence, or others, this conversation offers practical insights into implementation strategies, use cases, and pitfalls to avoid. **[Learn with us today](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-12mar2026-mc)**! **Programme** 7:00pm: Introduction By STACK Community 7:05pm: Opening By ​Steven Koh, Director, Engineering Management, Government Digital Products (GDP), GovTech Singapore 7:15pm: Building Opus: Delivering Durable Workflow Execution for Government Systems By Gabriel Tay, Staff Software Engineer, GDP, GovTech Singapore 7:35pm: Temporal Primitives to Real-World Design By Tao Guo, Staff Solutions Architect, Temporal.io 7:55pm: Real Application Use Case of Subscription Workflows Through TechBiz By Yong Weng Kiat, Software Engineer, GDP, GovTech Singapore 8:15pm: Q&A 8:30pm: End of STACK Meetup Click **[here](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-12mar2026-mc)\*** to sign up! \*Registration will be accepted via GovEntry only.

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.
