Context

This post describes how we can provide a Temporal workflow with the tracing aspect. DataDog tracing service will be used as an example. To better understand what Temporal is and how it can be used for microservices, you can read: Temporal Microservices post Temporal Context Propagators post Temporal Universal Starters post What is tracing? Microservice […]

Why do you need Starters? As we described in our previous post about Temporal Microservices, Temporal can be used effectively as the microservices orchestration engine and will allow an engineer to construct quite complex behavior workflows with retries, backpressure and fault resistance. We can define different activities and use them as components for the workflows. […]
