Temporal

Temporal is an open-source durable execution platform that allows developers to build invincible applications by eliminating complexity and ensuring fault tolerance. It simplifies backend workflows and enables faster feature shipping.

Key Features:

• Durable Execution: Ensures code execution continues even in the face of failures.
• Automatic State Management: Captures state at every step, allowing recovery from any point.
• Native SDKs: Supports multiple programming languages for writing business logic.

Use Cases:

• AI/ML Workflows: Resilient and repeatable workflows for model training and data preparation.
• Order Fulfillment: Keeps orders moving despite service failures.
• CI/CD: Enables clean retries and rollbacks for confident deployments.

Benefits:

• Fault Tolerance: Applications never lose state, even when failures occur.
• Simplified Development: Eliminates the need for reconciliation logic and boilerplate code.
• Increased Uptime: Ensures code always picks up where it left off, reducing downtime.

• Orchestrates workflows across distributed data stores and tools
• Maintains state over long periods, supporting human intervention
• Automatically retries failed activities
• Provides visibility into workflow progress and status
• Coordinates jobs across GPU resources
• Automates data engineering processes
• Manages complex data pipelines
• Supports long-running jobs and complex nested workflows
• Integrates with other systems through signals for multistep processes
• Orchestrates interactions across distributed data stores and tools
• Maintains workflow state over long periods while supporting human intervention
• Retries until a probabilistic LLM returns valid data
• Provides visibility into the agent's performance, inputs, and outputs
