#SysConf26
I recently realized that this whole AI movement and the changing nature of work, especially in tech, but not limited to tech, creates this feeling that you constantly need to be doing something.
For developers, especially, it feels like your agents need to be running 24/7.
And somehow, when you choose to be idle, to rest, or simply do nothing, you start to feel like you're wasting time or falling behind.
But I think it's important to remind ourselves that it's okay to slow down.

#Sysconf2026. Genuinely happy to have been here. graceful use of my Saturday afternoon that was. All dem brilliant folks.
It was an amazing time giving my talk at @sysconf_ 2026 🔥.
Having the opportunity to drive deep into something you built and share with a wide audience is really awesome
We’re excited to announce Akinlua Bolamigbe (@alobmtc) as a speaker at SysConf 2026!
His talk is titled “When Workers Die: Leases, Checkpoints, and Durable Execution with Postgres.”
Background jobs often fail at “awkward” boundaries. For example, a worker could call an external API successfully and then crash before the system records that the task was completed. Naive retries may prevent lost work, but could also repeat side effects. So how do we build durable execution? And further, how much of a durable workflow’s characteristics can we get as a library instead of setting up another platform?
In this talk, Akinlua walks us through his attempt at answering those questions through a library he built (in both Rust & Go). He will discuss the mechanisms he built that enable durable execution such as a state machine, worker leases & reaping, retries & dead-lettering, atomic idempotency, coordinating workers using Postgres features and checkpointing, among others. He also highlights the limitations of the system, including where a failure window still exists.

Year on year @sysconf_ has exposed me to a lot of Nigerian Engineers taking on and solving very interesting and niche problems and in diverse roles.
I am really really proud!!

Register for SysConf 2026 to hear this talk: events.ringcentral.com/event….
Looking forward to sharing the “why” behind Durable Execution, and why I believe it deserves a place in how we think about building reliable systems.
See you at SysConf 2026! 🚀
