Temporal: Scalable Workflow Automation for Founders
From the repo · “Temporal service”
You run the Temporal service to manage the execution and scheduling of long-running tasks in your applications.
"A founder building an e-commerce platform with multiple microservices uses Temporal to schedule and orchestrate tasks that update customer inventory, send notifications, and process payments. They set up Temporal to run on their local machine, define the task workflow in Go, and then deploy their microservices to Kubernetes. The outcome: a more responsive and scalable platform."
