Temporal

#Introduction

Temporal is a durable execution platform that enables developers to build scalable applications without sacrificing productivity or reliability. The Temporal server executes units of application logic called Workflows in a resilient manner that automatically handles intermittent failures, and retries failed operations.

Temporal is a mature technology that originated as a fork of Uber's Cadence. It is developed by Temporal Technologies, a startup by the creators of Cadence.

#Getting Started

#Download and Start Temporal Server Locally

Execute the following commands to start a pre-built image along with all the dependencies.
