More Use Cases

“HashiCorp needed to build long-running, reliable, fault-tolerant tasks for the HashiCorp Cloud Platform.
Temporal’s technology satisfied all of these requirements out of the box and allowed our developers to focus on business logic.
Without Temporal’s technology, we would’ve spent a significant amount of time rebuilding Temporal and would’ve very likely done a worse job.”

Mitchell Hashimoto

Co-founder, Hashicorp

“ Developer happiness has increased. Thinking in terms of workflows and activities has clarified our product and allowed us to share workflow components with different teams. ”
