Building Application Reliability on Top of Infrastructure Unreliability

Infrastructure reliability is crucial for applications that depend on multiple microservices and external dependencies. However, even with effective tools like Kubernetes and Istio, infrastructure failures can occur. To ensure application reliability, it's essential to focus on the overall workflow rather than individual services. Temporal Workflows enable automatic resumption of user requests when a process is interrupted due to infrastructure problems, leading to better overall application reliability even with unreliable infrastructure components.
