Introduction

Temporal is a durable execution platform that enables developers to build scalable applications without sacrificing productivity or reliability.
The Temporal server executes units of application logic called Workflows in a resilient manner that automatically handles intermittent failures, and retries failed operations.

Temporal is a mature technology that originated as a fork of Uber's Cadence.
It is developed by Temporal Technologies, a startup by the creators of Cadence.


Getting Started

Download and Start Temporal Server Locally
