Temporal is a workflow engine that helps build and operate resilient systems by preserving the state of computations and execution. It enables developers to focus on business logic rather than managing complex distributed system architectures. The platform offers a cloud-hosted version of its open-source solution, with a permissive MIT license. Temporal's adoption has grown organically through bottom-up adoption by engineers within companies like HashiCorp, Coinbase, and DoorDash. Its founders emphasize the importance of making software open source to ensure longevity and continuous improvement.
