Mercury: Production Patterns for Incremental Temporal Adoption
Abstract#
Temporal's workflow engine excels at orchestrating distributed processes, but moving from basic workflows to production-grade systems requires careful consideration of testing, transactional safety, and performance. This talk distills key patterns developed while building Mercury's financial infrastructure and the open source Haskell SDK for Temporal.
