No, the sample app is 100% Temporal backend, but you can incrementally adopt—writing durable functions for specific processes. Usually companies start out with things that are either long running or for which reliability is particularly imp

This post talks about the durable execution systems, which include Azure Durable Functions, Amazon SWF, Uber Cadence, Infinitic, and Temporal. Durable execution systems run our code in a way that persists each step the code takes. If the pr

You are correct, that's the main difference. I wrote some more on the topic of data workflow engines like Airflow vs general-purpose application development workflow engines like Temporal here: https://community.temporal.io

Temporal jobs/tasks are called workflows because the code is effectively translated into workflow steps—i.e. code progress is made by workers, and each step is persisted so that if the worker dies, you don't lose anything—another

I agree about the limitations of DSLs. Temporal is a workflow engine that doesn't use a DSL or nerfed version of a programming language. It runs your arbitrary code with any of the supported runtimes (currently Go/Java/Node&#

Yeah, an unfortunate name collision! Name was chosen when Temporal the company was founded in 2019.

Oops, that used to be normal-looking JS! Will fix, thanks

Co-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 you

It certainly could, but not a fit for a real-time game. In order to make Temporal general-purpose, fault-tolerant, and scalable, it had to do more database writes / have higher latency than real-time game backends.

A language runtime that runs your code in durable way (every step of program execution is persisted so that if there’s a failure—even the machine running the program losing power—execution can be continued), and a service that enables that

Manually is writing code to read and write to the DB. Automatically is writing code, and all the code state (local variables, execution progress) is persisted for you.

By “there’s no DB”, burgundy means that the dev doesn’t interact with the DB—the state of all their code is automatically being saved to the DB at each step.

I believe Temporal is the best-in-class way to architect/code a wide range of distributed systems. Glad to hear it's so well funded!

by lorendsr 5y ago
Oh cool, makes sense! What are you working on that has external devs contributing?
47.
by lorendsr 5y ago
Temporal is IMO the best way to write reliable code. Great for microservice orchestration, async work, long-running tasks, crons, distributed transactions/SAGAs. And a great benefit to the TS SDK versus the other language SDKs is that

Chapters 1-5 are apollo-free! And the queries and mutations used in the apollo client chapters are applicable outside apollo.

Apollo has been in the lead for a while—it currently has 125k weekly downloads on npm, vs Relay's 20k. You can use the new render prop API instead of the HOC API if you don't like wrapping. The data fetching itself is separate fro

Would definitely recommend GraphQL over GRPC! We'll go over how to generate types or add them manually, but the rest of the book is in ecmascript.
