At Replay 2023, Max, CEO and co-founder of Temporal, discussed the future of event-driven architectures with a focus on Durable Execution. He argued that while event-driven architecture is beneficial for scalability and resilience in backend development, it often results in a poor developer experience. Temporal and Durable Execution simplify this by encapsulating complexities, allowing developers to concentrate on business logic. Max also explored how Temporal can be integrated into existing architectures and where Durable Execution may be advantageous or not for specific applications. His talk is available on the Replay Rewind site along with other talks from the event.
