What if your processes could survive node failures and pick up exactly where they left off? We are introducing DurableServer. It extends the familiar GenServer with automatic state persistence and cluster coordination.

Processes often represent real things like users or game sessions that need to run reliably and recover easily. We will explore how to sync state to object storage and handle capacity placement. Complex tasks like routing and load balancing become simple. It feels just like writing a regular GenServer.
