In a recent webinar, Jon Morehouse and Jordan Acosta from Nuon discussed how they rebuilt their API using Temporal, an open-source workflow engine. Nuon is an infrastructure company that enables software companies to create a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) version of their app. The team initially faced challenges with their external-facing API, which was slow and buggy. They decided to explore rebuilding the API with Temporal and found significant improvements in developer velocity, reliability, and insights within just one developer month. Temporal's event loop model simplifies programming by handling side effects and workflows asynchronously, allowing for a lightweight and scalable architecture.
