## AI overview

This article explains how Durable Execution addresses consistency and reliability challenges in distributed systems. Using a C# example involving a credit-card charge and database update, it describes how retries, timeouts, state tracking, and worker processes can prevent incomplete multi-step operations from leaving inconsistent results.
