Temporalite - The Foundation of the New Temporal CLI Experience

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses the development journey of Temporal, a technology that was initially intimidating and unapproachable for new users due to its packaging and distribution. The idea of a single binary was introduced as a solution to this problem, but it faced challenges in terms of dependencies like persistence and visibility store. Datadog's team independently developed a similar solution called Temporalite, which inspired Temporal to think more fundamentally about the idea itself. This led to the development of Temporal CLI, a unified tool that supports all core Temporal functionality and can be easily installed from package managers like brew. The text also mentions future plans for Temporal CLI, such as guided onboarding experience and support for Advanced Visibility with SQLite.
