Temporal

Temporal is a durable execution platform for complex business processes that require strong reliability guarantees. Temporal provides workflows with retries, intermediate state persistence, configurable timeouts, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, resumability and visibility into execution progress. It offers both an open-source self-hosted option and a managed cloud service.

We’ve found compelling use cases for Temporal when building internal developer platforms and control planes for AI cloud infrastructure. These systems typically involve multiple long-running infrastructure provisioning tasks whose state must be reconciled later. Temporal's built-in retries, flexible worker queue scheduling, resumability, visibility and durable execution help teams build these types of systems more resiliently.

Temporal 是一个用于开发长期运行工作流的平台，尤其适用于微服务架构。作为 Uber 开源项目（OOS）Cadence 的衍生项目，Temporal 对于长期运行的工作流采用了事件溯源 (event-sourcing) 模式，因此它们可以在进程或主机的崩溃后恢复。尽管我们不推荐在微服务架构中使用分布式事务，但如果你确实需要分布式事务或者长期运行的 Sagas，你或许会对 Temporal 有兴趣。
