Temporal
Temporal is the reference durable execution platform for workflows that must survive failures, restarts, retries, and long time horizons.
Key Points
- Workflows are code definitions whose executions are durable, reliable, and scalable.
- Temporal preserves event history and replays workflow code to reconstruct state after failure.
- Workflows must obey deterministic constraints.
Relevance to Init Intelligence
Temporal is important to understand even if not adopted immediately. AI ITSM workflows need durable waits, approvals, retries, child workflows, and resumability across long-running business processes. ^[inferred]
