The Durable concept refers to a system's ability to resume execution from the point of interruption after a process crash, network outage, or machine restart, rather than rerunning from the beginning; workflow frameworks such as Temporal and Azure Durable Functions treat this as their core design philosophy.
Platforms such as Temporal, Azure Durable Functions, and Inngest have validated the production value of the persistent workflow pattern in the web backend domain.
The core concept of Temporal is Durable Functions, which persists the execution history of every step to a database to enable resumption from breakpoints.
The concept of "durable orchestration" originates from the workflow engine domain, with typical implementations including Microsoft's Durable Functions and Temporal
