Automotive, industrial, and remote systems often operate in environments where connectivity is intermittent and centralized control cannot be assumed.
Most automation assumes the network works and the controller can keep pushing state. In unreliable networks, systems must instead respond to local events, make deterministic decisions, and transition between explicit runtime states.
This talk presents an event-driven architecture for infrastructure automation based on state machines and local decision-making. We’ll examine practical design patterns for building predictable, self-healing systems under network instability, and see some demos!
