Temporal Technologies

Temporal is a durable execution platform for developers who build applications that must survive failure. Business logic is written as ordinary code in a Temporal Workflow, and the platform captures the full running state at every step, so when a server crashes, an API times out or a deploy interrupts a process, the workflow resumes exactly where it stopped. Failure prone calls are written as Activities that retry automatically under policies you define rather than code by hand. It is aimed at engineering teams running long lived or multi step processes: moving money between accounts, processing orders, provisioning cloud infrastructure, training models and, increasingly, orchestrating AI agents, MCP servers and AI pipelines. Native SDKs cover the languages teams already use, and the service provides built in retries, task queues, signals and timers, with full visibility into the state of each workflow execution. Common patterns include human in the loop approvals, compensating sagas, durable ledgers and workflows that run for weeks or months. The core is open source under the MIT license and can be self hosted, or run as the managed Temporal Cloud. Temporal Cloud is priced on usage with no base monthly fee and no features locked behind plan upgrades. New accounts receive $150 in free credits for 90 days. Pay as you go starts at $50 per million actions and falls to $25 per million actions through self service volume discounts, with larger discounts available on a commitment. Storage costs $0.042 per GB hour for active storage and $0.00105 per GB hour for retained storage, and developer support is 10% of usage. The Business support add on starts at $500 per month (the greater of $500 or 10% of usage), while Enterprise and Mission Critical support is quoted by sales. Temporal's founders previously built Cadence at Uber, and the company announces on its site a Series E at a $12.55 billion valuation.
