temporal.io = durable actors for microservices workflows



I'm learning so much about a market I'm entering. My company is https://www.adama-platform.com/


Neat! Something, something, Greenspun but Erlang. You should check out Lumen. Not to dissuade you at all, but doesn't making a new language greatly limit who can use your platform? Or was it on purpose so that only frolicking goat angels can fly through the eye of a needle?

BTW, would love to see a higher resolution image of your logo.

It does, but it offers some unique advantages as well. One of them is durability maintaining state between async/await calls. That is, the process can bounce and no one notices.

The key challenge that I see is that I should focus less, in marketing, around the programming language and more on the data side.


Also, https://www.adama-platform.com/i/adama-moderate.png is a better quality image. I paid someone on fiverr to make it.



Trying to understand what this is. A kind of Erlang runtime for Go/Java/PHP/TS?


Ok, found a good explanation now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30368838


I'd describe it as a system that let's you write software without regard for the lifecycle of the OS and hardware running it. The Temporal runtime takes care of rehydrating your program in the correct state if the underlying computer is killed. This eliminates a tremendous amount of incidental complexity most traditional monolithic and distributed architectures.


The "Concepts" section is a good intro: https://docs.temporal.io/temporal
