Temporal Workflow Orchestration

Acerca de

This skill provides specialized architectural guidance for building reliable distributed systems using Temporal. It helps developers master the critical distinction between deterministic Workflows and non-deterministic Activities, ensuring state is preserved across failures. By implementing patterns such as Sagas for distributed transactions, long-lived entity workflows, and parallel fan-out/fan-in execution, the skill ensures high resilience and consistency. It is particularly useful for complex backend services requiring automatic retries, compensation logic, and strict adherence to determinism constraints in high-scale environments.

Características Principales

• Configures robust retry policies and idempotency keys to ensure safe recovery from failures.
• Provides templates for long-lived entity workflows (Actor model) for managing persistent state.
• Distinguishes between deterministic orchestration logic and side-effect-heavy external activities.
• Implements the Saga pattern for automated compensation and rollback in distributed transactions.
• Enforces determinism constraints including workflow-safe time, randomness, and versioning.
