[Platforms] Explore the Evolving Landscape of Workflow Executions

12 March 2026, 11:00 - 12:30 GMT+0
The Big Place @ GovTech HQ, #10-01, 10 Pasir Panjang Rd, Mapletree Business City, Singapore 117438

Overview

Join us for a discussion exploring the evolving landscape of durable workflow executions in modern systems. 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 and features in GovTech products, such as Opus and TechBiz, 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!

Who should attend: Full stack engineers, architects, product managers and technical leaders building resilient systems.
