Temporal for Platform Engineering
Your control center for reliable, automated infrastructure
Operate your infrastructure with Temporal, allowing you to orchestrate resource provisioning, manage CI/CD pipelines, or help build self-service workflows for developers.
Platform teams need reliability, not complexity
You already manage a mesh of distributed systems, services, and tools–you need orchestration that can handle failures, retries, and state without adding operational overhead.
Operate without breaking anything
Temporal workflows won’t break during execution, which enables platform teams like yours to focus on building infrastructure and not repairing software or troubleshooting issues.
Empower developers to build 2x faster
Platform teams can enable developers to define and execute workflows, while maintaining full control and visibility over the execution process.
Success Story: Block
The Block Afterpay team uses Temporal to orchestrate complex, interactive payment workflows that require strict latency, state management, and reliability. Temporal helps increase development velocity, reduce production incidents, and ensure a seamless payment experience for customers.
Our CI/CD pipeline uses Temporal’s to block incompatible changes before they reach production. We always test with live, encrypted data, and this setup has saved us from several production issues and a few sleepless nights.
