Durable by Design: Inside n8n's New Execution Engine

n8n is building a new execution engine, which will record every step durably and drive progress through events instead of a call stack. This is work in progress and not yet released. This session is a look into the upcoming engine: how it works at a high level, what it will change for the reliability, flexibility and scalability of your automations, and where the project stands today.

In this lightning talk, one of the engineers building it shares how the new execution flow works at a high level, what problems it's designed to solve, and what it changes for the reliability, flexibility, and scalability of your workflows. You'll also get an honest look at where the project stands today.

• Understand what it means for n8n's new execution engine to be "durable by design"
• Learn how driving progress through events, rather than a call stack, changes how workflows execute
• See what this shift means for the reliability, flexibility, and scalability of your workflows
• Get an honest, current look at where the project stands today
