there's a lot of hype around durable execution these days. why do that instead of regular use of queues? is it the dev ergonomics that's cool here?

you can (and people already) model steps in any arbitrarily large workflow and have those results be processed in a modular fashion and have whatever process that begins this workflow check the state of the necessary preconditions prior to taking any action and thus go to the currently needed step, or retry ones that failed, and so forth.

The hype is because DE is such an dev exp improvement over building your own queue. Good DE frameworks come with workflows, pub/sub, notifications, distributed queues with tons of flow control options, etc.
