Durable Code Execution With Temporal
summary
Temporal runs workflows on a durable server with task queues and workers that poll independently, persisting state so retries, timeouts and compensations happen automatically; Snap! Mobile reports every one of 1,000,000 donations hit Temporal at least twice while helping raise $80M. Example code uses activities for third‑party calls (fraud check 90% pass, payment 40% success, update inventory fails twice) with a max attempts = 3 retry policy and a UI showing a 29‑event history. Key SDKs available include TypeScript, Go, Python, Java, .NET.
