AutoKitteh, a developer-first, open-source platform that focuses on serverless workflow automation, adopted Temporal to enhance the durability and reliability of their programs while simplifying development processes.

Challenges Before Using Temporal

Before adopting Temporal, AutoKitteh's main challenge was ensuring that their software was durable and reliable. They wanted a solution that would make their product robust without requiring a lot of extra effort or complexity.

• Durability and Reliability: Maintaining program durability and reliability was a constant struggle.
• Complex Development: The engineering team implemented their own state management and event-driven development, adding significant maintenance overhead
• High Skill Requirement: Only a few highly skilled engineers could handle the work required, making the development process slow and cumbersome.

Why AutoKitteh Chose Temporal

We knew we were going to use Temporal because it gave us a huge advantage over other solutions out there.

AutoKitteh chose Temporal for several compelling reasons:

• Simplified Development: Temporal handles the complexity like state management and error-handling logic, allowing developers to focus on core functionality.
• Efficient Debugging: Temporal makes it easy to identify where the code stopped working, and it automatically resumes from there, saving time and reducing developer frustration.
• Enhanced Abstractions: Temporal’s abstractions streamlined their code, making it easier to manage.
• Durable Execution: The durable execution capabilities significantly reduced project timelines.

Benefits of Temporal for AutoKitteh

Since adopting Temporal, AutoKitteh has experienced numerous benefits: Seamless Abstractions:

• Reduced Development Effort: AutoKitteh’s systems run on abstractions, instantly translating external system events into new workflows. This lets the team develop more efficiently.
• Increased Developer Velocity: Developers allocate much less time to distributed system development, focusing more on innovation.
• Less Manual Intervention: The need for intervening when errors happen has drastically decreased.

AutoKitteh has transformed its development process, achieving greater efficiency and reliability.
