Could you build this?
No Building a durable execution runtime involves complex distributed systems guarantees, deterministic replay, event-sourcing ledgers, and resilient state machines.
What it would actually take: A durable execution engine (similar to Temporal or DBOS) requires an event-sourced architecture storing deterministic workflow execution histories in a distributed database like PostgreSQL or FoundationDB. Hard technical parts include implementing deterministic execution semantics, coroutine/thread state serialization or AST rewriting, cross-worker distributed locking, and zero-downtime workflow version migration logic.
