Temporal is an open‑source durable execution platform that runs workflows and activities with built‑in fault tolerance. It provides a server, CLI and SDKs for multiple languages to build reliable, long‑running applications.
Use cases
- Orchestrate complex business processes that must survive crashes and network failures.
- Run long‑running, stateful workflows such as order fulfillment or payment processing.
- Implement reliable task queues with automatic retries and timeout handling.
- Build AI agents or bots that need durable execution across multiple steps.
- Coordinate distributed microservices with guaranteed exactly‑once semantics.
When to choose
- You need guaranteed execution continuity even after server restarts or outages.
- Your application requires complex workflow logic with retries, timers, and versioning.
- You want a language‑agnostic platform with SDKs for Go, Java, Python, and more.
When to avoid
- The workload is simple, short‑lived tasks that can be handled by a basic job queue.
- You need ultra‑low latency processing where the added durability layer introduces overhead.
- You prefer an embedded library rather than a separate service to manage.
