Temporal in 2 Minutes

Use Cases

Temporal is a perfect fit for orchestrating microservices.
It guarantees that workflow code eventually completes, has built-in support for exponential activity retries, and simplifies the coding of the compensation logic with native Saga pattern support.
You can define retries, rollbacks, or even a human intervention step in the case of failure. Workflows are defined in general-purpose programming languages that bring the ultimate flexibility especially when compared to text-based DSL engines.
Temporal provides full visibility into each workflow's state. Contrast this with ad-hoc orchestration based on queues where getting a current status of each request is virtually impossible.

Case Studies

Relied on by the companies other companies rely on.

“One thing that the API does really well is give you this illusion of single threaded or at least local execution without having to get into the details of trying to orchestrate multiple things. It's pretty amazing.”

Temporal Vs.

What's the difference between Temporal and...

Most developers hand-write async flows using queues and job processors.
This often requires requisitioning new infrastructure, and hand-writing often buggy, not-well-distributed and hard-to-test code with a lot of ad hoc code to review that has nothing to do with the business logic. Temporal offers a battle tested framework to organize all async business logic, running it atop a single set of infrastructure at massive scale.

“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.”
