Is GitHub Actions really similar enough to Temporal/Cadence to be included in the list?

  Hmm. Maybe not. But they sure have much in common: You define a set of things that should be done, triggered by something - either a schedule, an event (oftentimes a repository event, but it doesn't have to), or from another Github action.

    I think that definition could encompass everything from CPU interrupts to having a human secretary : - )

  You could call them both workflow management systems. One of the differences is Temporal/Cadence uses code to define workflows instead of YAML. It's a large enough difference that Temporal is defining their category as "durable execution": https://temporal.io/blog/building-reliable-distributed-systems-in-node https://temporal.io/blog/building-reliable-distributed-syste...
