What is the fundamental rule for Temporal workflows?

Workflows must be strictly deterministic and handle orchestration logic, while Activities handle all external interactions like API calls and database writes.

How does this skill handle distributed transactions?

It utilizes the Saga pattern, which registers compensating actions for every step to ensure the system can perform a reverse-order rollback if a failure occurs.

Can I use standard time and random functions in workflows?

No, workflows must use deterministic wrappers like workflow.now() and workflow.random() to ensure the execution can be reliably replayed.

Why is idempotency required for activities?

Activities may be retried multiple times due to network failures or timeouts; ensuring they are idempotent prevents duplicate side effects.

Architects resilient, durable distributed systems using Temporal workflow orchestration and advanced saga patterns.

소개

This skill empowers Claude to design and implement complex distributed systems using the Temporal orchestration engine. It provides deep expertise in separating deterministic workflow logic from non-deterministic activities, implementing fault-tolerant error handling via the Saga pattern, and ensuring state consistency across long-running processes. By applying these patterns, developers can build systems that automatically recover from infrastructure failures, manage multi-step transactions with precision, and scale to handle millions of concurrent entity lifecycles.
