1.0.0 Release of the Temporal TypeScript SDK
- lorendsr 4y agoCo-author here! For those unfamiliar with Temporal, here's an excerpt from the post: We think of Temporal as a "durable code execution framework." We execute your backend code in a durable fashion: by persisting each step your program takes, we can recover your program's state in the event of failure—even if the machine goes offline or loses power in the middle of execution. We also durably retry and timeout external calls, so if your services or databases are unreachable or returning errors, we will keep retrying until they're back in a good state. This allows backend engineers to develop at a new, higher level of abstraction that is oblivious to faults in the system.
- swyx 4y agocongrats on the release :)
- kyelewis 4y agoHave to say, the name had me mightily confused with the Temporal API Proposal https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/ https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/
- lorendsr 4y agoYeah, an unfortunate name collision! Name was chosen when Temporal the company was founded in 2019.
- beardedman 4y agoLooks good! Suggestion; I would maybe not use TS transpiled Javascript in the code samples here - https://learn.temporal.io/tutorials/typescript/nextjs https://learn.temporal.io/tutorials/typescript/nextjs. I think it looks a bit messy & hard to follow.
- lorendsr 4y agoOops, that used to be normal-looking JS! Will fix, thanks
- crubier 4y agoTemporal is great, I’ve been trying to invent something very close to it for some time. I’m also very excited by the Python SDK, will be useful for math/ML heavy tasks
