Improving platform resilience at Cloudflare through automation

The text discusses how the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team at Cloudflare built a self-healing platform using Temporal, a durable execution platform. This platform allows automatic remediation of failures in various components such as servers and software services, reducing toil and improving reliability for users. The system includes a coordinator for authorization and scheduling workflows, task routing for efficient task execution, and flexible trigger mechanisms for detecting failure conditions. Deployed in production, the platform has successfully mitigated potential impact from server-specific errors and reduced operational toil. Future plans include leveraging more Temporal features and exploring strategies to eliminate toil further.
