Temporal: React for the Backend
summary
Claim: Temporal provides durable workflows that let backend logic sleep, retry, signal and resume reliably across crashes. Implementation details: open‑source Temporal server, workers/activities/clients, a TypeScript SDK and devtools; primitives include durable timers, condition API and signals. Evidence: teams report incidents drop from weekly to zero, developer productivity improves and code shrinks (40–60% fewer lines of code). Examples: monthly subscription loop, undo‑tweet timer, large media pipelines at scale (YouTube 30,000 hours/hr) and production use at Stripe, Netflix, Snapchat.
