Retries in your systems are creating duplicate effects
A BOOK BY VENKAT CHITTURI, FOUNDER & CEO, TECHNOIDENTITY
Engineering mission-critical systems that work through failure,
change, and scale.
For CIOs, CTOs, COOs, and engineering leaders running mission-critical systems.
Enterprises are investing in AI capability, not in the engineering required to run it reliably in production.
This book is about the discipline that closes that gap: Durable Product Engineering™.
You need this book if:
Retries in your systems are creating duplicate effects
Modernization budgets grow. Change does not
Your last incident is hard to reconstruct
You are about to deploy AI on a base you do not fully trust
A way to quantify the cost of fragility before you make the case for fixing it
A model for safe change without downtime
A working definition of operational
trust
An operating model that rewards durability over heroics
Five durability outcomes: no lost work, no duplicate outcomes, recoverable execution, provable history, and safe change
"There is a hidden line item in most engineering budgets. It is not labeled. It does not appear in any report. It shows up as headcount that grows faster than revenue, and deadlines that quietly slip. I call it the Fragility Tax."
