Easily Manage Workflows at Scale with Temporal.io and Astra DB

What's this blog post about?

Temporal.io is an open-source microservices platform that simplifies managing long-running workflows. Its quick start installation allows users to easily integrate it with their personal workflows. Temporal supports different configurations using various databases and dependencies, including Apache Cassandra and DataStax Astra DB. The latter provides a managed, cloud-native database backing the Temporal platform, offering high performance and reliability for heavy workloads. Workflow orchestration is crucial in managing long-running tasks that are sometimes referred to as reentrant processes. Temporal is an open-source, distributed, and scalable workflow orchestration engine capable of running millions of workflows. It abstracts the complexity of a distributed system and supports Cassandra, MySQL, and PostgreSQL schemas for its server's database. Combining Temporal with Astra DB offers all the benefits of Cassandra with the simplicity of a managed cloud service (DBaaS), reducing deployment time from weeks to minutes.
