How to streamline your workflows without burning out your devs: a guide to Temporal.io
When it comes to workflows, you’ve probably automated some—or a lot—of them. You may have even built your own workflow engine. (Or considered doing it.) Automating workflows is a game-changer for businesses looking to build world-class software, scale, and spend more time on their core products instead of maintaining multiple custom workflows. But as those […]
Spiral Scout and Temporal: An Inspiring Tech Partnership Story
Back in 2019, JD, Spiral Scout’s co-founder and CTO, was building his own workflow engine (like most engineers who have had similar thoughts that building and maintaining a workflow engine was a good idea). While he was starting to build this engine, he was researching different solutions on the market to get some ideas and […]
Leveraging Temporal for Efficient Document Life Cycle Management
In today’s fast-paced and data-driven world, creating complex workflows that can handle thousands of registrations, processes, or actions can be a daunting task. It’s essential to have a solution that is scalable, reliable, and easy to use. Thankfully, there are various tools and engines available in the market, and one of our most preferred instruments […]

Tracing Temporal Workflow with DataDog
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 […]
Temporal Universal Starter
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. […]
Passing Context with Temporal
Why do we need Context? Within a program, context is a mechanism to pass some data without a strict definition or needing to tie it to a piece of code. In addition, context is usually passed to the explicit attributes as the first attribute. Usually, context is constructed as a key/value store, where the key […]
Temporal Workflow and Microservices
Microservices Architecture With Temporal.io Last year, we published a post titled “Understanding Concurrency and Parallelism in Golang” where we described how developers can optimize their code using Go concurrency. That post described the approaches to speeding up Go applications with the parallelization of computations by algorithm and data. Even with this trick, however, an application […]
