summary
Claim: durable execution with Dapr Workflow and Dapr resiliency policies makes long running distributed workflows automatically recoverable. The demo runs C# code samples via the Dapr CLI and sidecar, persisting state to a Redis state store, starts a validate-order workflow (2 of 5 rubber ducks), fans out cost requests to three shipping providers, picks the cheapest (service B), crashes the apps, restarts dapr run and the workflow replays and completes with orchestration status "completed."
