Temporal

Temporal is a durable execution platform for building scalable, reliable applications without giving up developer productivity. You write ordinary application logic as Workflows and Activities, and Temporal keeps each execution moving through intermittent failures, retries, restarts, and other disruptions, preserving its state along the way.

The server runs Workflows resiliently while your code runs in Workers using language SDKs. Built-in retries, timers, and signals handle failure and coordination, and a web UI plus a CLI let you inspect, query, and operate running and historical executions.

Temporal began as a fork of Uber's Cadence and is developed by Temporal Technologies. The server is MIT licensed and self-hostable, and can be started locally from a pre-built image bundled with its dependencies.
