That’s not your problem anymore. Managing reliability shouldn’t mean constant firefighting. Temporal Workflows automatically capture state at every step, and in the event of failure, can pick up exactly where they left off. No lost progress, no orphaned processes, and no manual recovery required. ## You have to see it to believe it Temporal doesn’t work like anything you’ve used before. Watch how we guarantee the [Durable Execution](https://temporal.io/blog/what-is-durable-execution.md) of your code in the face of any failure. - [Watch a Demo](https://youtu.be/dNVmRfWsNkM) ## Create failproof apps using our SDKs Write your business logic in the programming languages you already use with our native SDKs. Your days of writing reconciliation logic or boilerplate code are over. ## Build Workflows that handle failures for you Write your business logic as code as a Temporal Workflow. Workflows might involve moving money between bank accounts, processing orders, deploying cloud infrastructure, training an AI model, or something else entirely. Because the full running state of a Workflow is durable and fault tolerant by default, your business logic can be recovered, replayed, or paused at any point. ## Write Activities to handle and retry failure-prone logic APIs fail, networks time out, and users abandon sessions. Temporal treats these interactions as Activities: functions that retry automatically and recover seamlessly. ## Replace your brittle state machines The Temporal Service persists the state of your application and has built-in retries, task queues, signals, and timers, to make sure your code always picks up where it left off. Host the Temporal Service yourself as part of the [open-source project](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/), or let us host it for you with [Temporal Cloud](https://temporal.io/cloud.md). ## Get full visibility into your running code No more wasting time sifting through logs. Get visibility into the exact state of each of your Workflow executions.

Temporal keeps the order moving. ### Durable Ledgers Track transactions with code you can trust down to the last cent. ### CI/CD Deploy with confidence. Temporal gives you clean retries, rollbacks, and visibility. ### Customer Acquisition Route leads, onboard users, and engage customers without dropped steps or hacks. ### DAG Don’t glue together DAGs with bash and hope. Temporal does it right. ## Global enterprises and top startups choose Temporal ### NVIDIA manages their GPU fleet across clouds with Temporal [Watch NVIDIA's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqGtUPLc_qI&t=1s) ### Salesforce migrated their monolith to Temporal [Watch Salesforce's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TDX9WEJRMA&t=1s) ### Twilio left their homegrown systems for Temporal Cloud [Watch Twilio's talk](https://youtu.be/H7Vh3PPyeTw?si=L3PW2zKpjr7csOCX&t=1) ### Descript improved their AI uptime with Temporal [Watch Descript's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EaZZhmk9zg&t=0s) > Durable execution is a core requirement for modern AI systems, and Temporal offers a compelling platform to help build it in from the start. As AI systems become more complex and long-running, durability is as important as performance. Temporal plays a role in how we think about reliable execution at scale, supporting teams in focusing on product development. > > — Venkat Venkataramani, VP of App Infrastructure, OpenAI • Former CEO & Co-founder of Rockset > 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, Superlogical & HashiCorp ## 100% open-source MIT-licensed, built in the open, and backed by a thriving developer community. ## Fully battle tested, 9 years in production Temporal was built with over 20 years of development from the minds behind AWS SQS, AWS SWF, Azure Durable functions, and the Cadence project that powers Uber. ## One platform, two great hosting paths Temporal is an open-source project that you are free to use and host in your own environment. You can also let us host the Temporal Service for you with Temporal Cloud. Either way, we never see your code.
