Temporal

Temporal is an open-source durable execution platform that enables developers to build reliable, long-running workflows that survive failures. Temporal guarantees that workflow code will run to completion even if processes crash, networks fail, or machines go down — making it critical infrastructure for agentic systems.

AI agents often need to execute complex, multi-step workflows that span minutes, hours, or even days: processing documents, coordinating with multiple services, waiting for human approval, and handling errors gracefully. Temporal's durable execution model is perfectly suited for these agentic workflows, ensuring that agents can reliably complete long-running tasks without losing state.

In the orchestration layer, Temporal provides the reliability guarantee that production AI agents need — ensuring that complex agentic workflows complete successfully even in the face of infrastructure failures.
