A BOOK BY VENKAT CHITTURI, FOUNDER & CEO, TECHNOIDENTITY

Built to Endure

Built to Endure book cover

Engineering mission-critical systems that work through failure,
change, and scale.

For CIOs, CTOs, COOs, and engineering leaders running mission-critical systems.

In the AI era,
intelligence is cheap. Reliability is rare.

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

What you’ll take away

  • 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."
