Why Temporal?
In any complex system, failures are bound to happen: machines crash, processes die, networks go down. Normally, this means developers spend a lot of time writing error-handling and recovery code just to make sure work eventually finishes. Temporal removes that burden.
Temporal ensures your application code is durable by default—no matter how long it runs or how many failures occur. Temporal tracks the progress of your application. If something goes wrong, like a power outage, it guarantees that your application can pick up right where it left off — it’s like having the ultimate autosave, without complex recovery logic.
The result: developers focus on business logic, not infrastructure plumbing, and applications become inherently more reliable and maintainable.
Let's take a look at an example together.
