Developer tools ยท temporal.io
Temporal is a durable execution platform that captures workflow state at every step and resumes code exactly where it stopped after a failure. Software engineers use it to run reliable backend processes, AI agent pipelines and long-running jobs through native SDKs, either self-hosted from the open-source project or on Temporal Cloud.
