What happens when a cluster fails? The most important question is not how many servers remain, but whether the platform's intended state can be reconstructed.
The Immortal Platform is our architectural vision of infrastructure that can be recreated from declared intent, versioned configuration and trusted operational evidence.
GitOps can restore desired application state; lifecycle automation can recreate infrastructure; contracts define what 'recovered' actually means. The hard part is connecting these capabilities into a coherent recovery path.
Self-healing should be treated as a tested capability with documented limits — never as a promise that failures disappear.
Explicit decisions. Governed execution. Verifiable outcomes.
