Temporal is an open-source durable execution platform that abstracts away the complexity of building reliable distributed systems. It guarantees that workflow code runs to completion, even in the presence of failures, retries, and system crashes. Temporal is the industry standard for orchestration at scale, used by companies like Uber, Netflix, and Stripe for mission-critical transactions, provisioning, and background processing. It allows developers to write business logic as code while the platform handles reliability.
