Overview
Temporal is an open-source durable execution platform that allows developers to build invincible applications by eliminating complexity and ensuring fault tolerance. It simplifies backend workflows and enables faster feature shipping.
Key Features:
- Durable Execution: Ensures code execution continues even in the face of failures.
- Automatic State Management: Captures state at every step, allowing recovery from any point.
- Native SDKs: Supports multiple programming languages for writing business logic.
Use Cases:
- AI/ML Workflows: Resilient and repeatable workflows for model training and data preparation.
- Order Fulfillment: Keeps orders moving despite service failures.
- CI/CD: Enables clean retries and rollbacks for confident deployments.
Benefits:
- Fault Tolerance: Applications never lose state, even when failures occur.
- Simplified Development: Eliminates the need for reconciliation logic and boilerplate code.
- Increased Uptime: Ensures code always picks up where it left off, reducing downtime.
