To be or not to be a Durable Execution Service Provider
Temporal Technologies offers an open-source software called Temporal, which enables any team of software engineers to become a Durable Execution Service Provider. This service ensures that the main function of applications and all defined steps will effectively execute just once and to completion. The key components provided by Temporal are a Software Development Kit (SDK) for writing business logic in popular languages, and a "supervisor" service responsible for ensuring durability in the face of various failures. Temporal also offers Temporal Cloud, a SaaS supervisor that works with any application written using a Temporal SDK. By adopting Temporal, developers can offer their applications a new core abstraction: Durable Execution.
