in the age of agents, surely durable execution is a must.
but the money being raised - what is it for ? go to market ? sponsorship & I like that temporal sponsored Crystal Palace.
we've so many good durable execution engines.
this is the type of VC pollution that will cause companies to end up being acquired by an Italian silverware company (bending spoons).

- t2r3121 14d agoTemporal doesn't run your AI compute for you, you bring your own hardware on prem or in your cloud account or whereever. Their SaaS is a control plane to coordinate and orchestrate the workers.
- amelius 14d agoWhy not ask the AI to build the control pane for you?
- t2r3121 13d agoBecause the hard part of running it is making it highly available despite the inherent fallibility of distributed computing, which is an infrastructure problem, not an AI coding problem. Temporal is fully open source, you can run the entire thing on your laptop or your own server. People pay for the SaaS anyway, because dealing with the distributed computing problems is hard. (There are some other projects inspired by Temporal as well, but if you want to run something in-house, you're probably funding a minimum of 2-3 engineers to handle on-call, and for that price the SaaS is competitive).
