Failure is not an option: durable execution + Dapr = 🚀
summary
Shows durable execution using Dapr Workflow (v1.14) and demos code in C# running with the Dapr CLI multi-app run. A validate-order workflow persists state to a Redis state store, fans out shipping-cost calls to three shippers, picks the cheapest, and registers shipment; stopping the apps mid-run and restarting the Dapr sidecars resumes and completes the orchestration. A simulated 500 from the shipment service triggers a try/catch compensation that restores inventory rather than failing the workflow.
