Building reliable distributed systems is challenging. Network failures, service outages, and unexpected errors can leave your workflows in inconsistent states. What if there was a way to build workflows that are inherently resilient, automatically handling retries, timeouts, and state management? Enter Temporal.io - a workflow orchestration platform that makes building reliable distributed applications dramatically easier. In this comprehensive tutorial, we’ll build a coffee shop ordering system that demonstrates Temporal’s powerful capabilities. ...

The Choreography Problem: Hope-Driven Development For years, we’ve built distributed systems using choreography-Service A fires an event into the void, hoping Service B hears it. Service B processes it and fires another event, hoping Service C is listening. When something fails (and it will), we’re left scrambling through logs across multiple services, trying to piece together what happened. This is hope-driven development, and it’s fundamentally broken. Enter Temporal and the concept of Durable Execution-a paradigm shift that replaces hope with guarantees. ...
