🛠 What is Temporal?
A scalable workflow engine for “durable execution” of code—Temporal ensures reliable and resilient workflows that survive failures. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
📜 Durable Execution
Temporal records a full event history so workflows can resume exactly where they failed—even after hours, days, or years. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
🔧 Code‑First Workflows
Write workflows in code using TypeScript, Go, Python, Java, Ruby, or .NET SDKs—with no separate DSL needed. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
🔄 Automatic Reliability
Built‑in retries, backoff, failure recovery, and state persistence let developers focus on business logic. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
📊 Observability
Includes CLI and Web UI to trace workflows, debug issues, and inspect execution history. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
⚙ Architecture
Consists of a Temporal Service (frontend, history, matching) plus Workers executing activities in your infrastructure. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
💬 Real‑World Reliability
Developers praise Temporal for managing long-running, complex flows with state and failure handling built in. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
🏆 Use Cases
Ideal for microservice orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows, financial transactions, AI pipelines, and more. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
↔ vs Job Queues
Unlike simple job queues, Temporal shines in orchestrating multi-service, long-lived workflows with event-driven logic. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
🌱 Open‑Source + Cloud
Use the OSS server or managed Temporal Cloud—Temporal provides flexibility for development and production. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
