I was thinking of something like this for running queries for sharded data: the execution could be paused and moved to the server that is closer to the data source at a given runtime. > Notice how flawless takes away the burden of persisting the state. Reminds me of the Wisdom of the Well: "You'll never find a programming language that frees you from the burden of clarifying your ideas." [1] Although solving durability of execution for arbitrary code sounds super cool, I suspect that writing the code in a way that could be checkpointed/resumed more naturally would probably be easier to debug and implement, in the end. -- 1: https://xkcd.com/568/ https://xkcd.com/568/
