Mason Egger - Build Durable Applications with Temporal

Mason Egger - Build Durable Applications with Temporal Description: Applications crash. This is an unfortunate reality of software development. Hard drives fail, networks go down, external APIs stop responding, the list goes on and on. Much of a developer's time is spent writing code to handle such errors. But what if that wasn't the case? What if you could deploy applications that could survive network failures, kernel panics, inaccessible databases even if the execution of these tasks take years? This is the promise of Durable Execution. In this talk I'll discuss the emerging tech of Durable Execution and show you how to build a Durable Application using the open-source Durable Execution Platform Temporal. Bio: Mason is currently a Sr. Technical Curriculum Developer at Temporal.io who specializes in building community, developer-focused educational content, distributed systems, and Python. Prior to his work at Temporal he launched Developer Relations at Gretel.ai as the Lead Developer Advocate, and was a Developer Advocate at DigitalOcean specializing in Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies. His engineering experience includes time as an SRE helping build and maintain a highly available hybrid multi-cloud PaaS. He's an avid programmer, speaker, educator, and writer/blogger. He is an organizer of PyTexas, President of the PyTexas Foundation, and actively contributes to open source projects. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, camping, kayaking, and exploring new places.
