Temporal is the open source microservices orchestration platform for running mission critical code at any scale. It guarantees workflow completion of any size and complexity, has built-in support for exponential activity retries, and simplifies defining workflow compensation logic with native Saga pattern support. You can define retries, rollbacks, cleanup, and even human intervention steps in the case of failure. Workflows are defined in general-purpose programming languages that bring the ultimate flexibility for defining workflows of any complexity, especially when compared to markup-based DSLs. Temporal provides full visibility into end-to-end workflows that can span multiple services. It makes complex microservices orchestration manageable by providing a high level of insight into each workflow's state. Contrast this with ad-hoc orchestration based on queues where gaining visibility of your workflows is virtually impossible.
