Best for

  • Building saga-pattern workflows for distributed transaction management
  • Implementing long-running business processes that survive service restarts
  • Designing retry and compensation logic for microservice orchestrations
  • Creating durable event-driven workflows with human approval steps
  • Migrating from batch jobs to event-driven workflow orchestrations

What you'll get

  • Complete workflow implementation with deterministic orchestration logic, idempotent activities, and comprehensive retry policies
  • Production deployment configuration including worker scaling, task queue setup, and monitoring instrumentation
  • Detailed compensation workflow design with rollback strategies and partial failure handling patterns
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Simple API orchestration that doesn't need durability guarantees
  • ×Real-time streaming data processing or ETL pipelines
  • ×Basic task queues without complex business logic coordination
  • ×Synchronous request-response patterns within single services
Expects

Clear business process requirements including failure scenarios, expected duration, consistency needs, and integration points with external systems.

Returns

Production-ready Temporal workflow and activity implementations with proper error handling, retry policies, and operational monitoring setup.
