Temporal

Open-source durable execution

Read the Docs Organization Settings Admin

Open source durable execution system. Write code that’s fault tolerant, durable, and simple. Used by Stripe, Netflix, Datadog, HashiCorp, Snap, and many others.

The world’s best AI runs on Temporal

Build applications the way OpenAI, Lovable, Replit, Cursor, and Retool do with our open-source platform. Add agentic capabilities to any application with your framework of choice.


Write code as if failure doesn’t exist

Distributed systems break, APIs fail, networks flake, and services crash. That’s not your problem anymore. Managing reliability shouldn’t mean constant firefighting.

Temporal Workflows automatically capture state at every step, and in the event of failure, can pick up exactly where they left off.

No lost progress, no orphaned processes, and no manual recovery required.

Create failproof apps using our SDKs

Write your business logic in the programming languages you already use with our native SDKs. Your days of writing reconciliation logic or boilerplate code are over.

Build Workflows that handle failures for you

Write your business logic as code as a Temporal Workflow. Workflows might involve moving money between bank accounts, processing orders, deploying cloud infrastructure, training an AI model, or something else entirely.

Write Activities to handle and retry failure-prone logic

APIs fail, networks time out, and users abandon sessions. Temporal treats these interactions as Activities: functions that retry automatically and recover seamlessly.

Replace your brittle state machines

The Temporal Service persists the state of your application and has built-in retries, task queues, signals, and timers, to make sure your code always picks up where it left off.

Get full visibility into your running code

No more wasting time sifting through logs. Get visibility into the exact state of each of your Workflow executions.
