When should I avoid using workflow orchestration?

Workflow orchestration is overkill for simple CRUD operations, stateless request/response APIs, or pure real-time data streaming pipelines.

How does this skill help with distributed transactions?

It provides implementation patterns for the Saga pattern, enabling automatic compensation (rollbacks) for each step in a distributed process if a subsequent step fails.

How does the skill ensure system resilience?

It guides the configuration of exponential backoff retry policies, activity heartbeats for stalled tasks, and idempotency keys to ensure retries are safe.

What is the difference between a Workflow and an Activity in this skill?

Workflows handle orchestration logic and must be deterministic to ensure state can be rebuilt, while Activities handle external interactions like API calls and database writes.

Desarrollo de API

Implements resilient distributed workflows and microservice orchestration using Temporal best practices and architectural patterns.

Acerca de

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to design and implement durable, long-running workflows using Temporal. It provides structural guidance on separating orchestration logic from external interactions, ensuring system determinism, and implementing complex patterns like Sagas for distributed transactions. By leveraging this skill, developers can build microservices that feature automatic state persistence, robust failure recovery, and sophisticated error handling, making it ideal for complex business processes, infrastructure automation, and entity lifecycle management.
