RPC Reinvented: Asynchronous, Durable, and Agent-Ready
What if your remote calls could run for weeks and survive server crashes? This new standard combines durable execution with RPC to make your applications truly fault-tolerant.
#1about 1 minute
Understanding the reliability challenges of traditional RPC
Traditional Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) are not inherently reliable for long-running operations because they don't handle process crashes or network failures.
#2about 2 minutes
The trade-offs of using event-driven systems for reliability
While event-driven systems offer reliability through queues, they sacrifice the simple API contract of RPC and lead to complex, callback-heavy code.
#3about 3 minutes
Building a fault-tolerant RPC with state persistence
A reliable RPC can be achieved by persisting request and response state in a database, allowing different process instances to handle recovery after a crash.
#4about 3 minutes
Combining durable execution with RPC for a better developer experience
Nexus RPC uses the concept of durable execution to preserve process state, enabling developers to write simple, synchronous-style code for long-running, fault-tolerant operations.
#5about 2 minutes
Applying Nexus RPC to build reliable AI agent tools
Nexus RPC is ideal for AI agents as it allows them to reliably invoke external tools that may be long-running, overcoming the limitations of traditional short-lived RPCs.
#6about 5 minutes
Demo of a fault-tolerant AI agent using Temporal
A live demonstration shows how an AI agent running in a Temporal workflow can invoke a long-running tool and survive process crashes without losing state.
#7about 2 minutes
Summary of Nexus RPC and durable execution benefits
Nexus RPC, enabled by durable execution platforms like Temporal, provides a reliable and simple RPC paradigm for long-running operations, avoiding the complexity of event-driven systems.
