Durable AI Meetup

Modern applications increasingly rely on long-running processes, external APIs, human approvals, background jobs, AI agents, and distributed services. Yet much of the software we build is still designed around the assumption that everything will work first time.

The Durable Code Meetup is for developers, architects, and engineering leaders interested in building systems that continue to make progress despite failures, restarts, network issues, and long-running operations.

Whether you're building financial systems, internal platforms, SaaS products, or AI-powered applications, this meetup aims to share practical lessons and real-world experiences from engineers tackling reliability and complexity at scale.
