Avoid the complexity and operational overhead of building your own stack to manage failures, network outages, flaky endpoints, long-running processes and more, to ensure your workflows never fail.
👋 Greetings, Product Hunt community! I’m @maximfateev the Co-Founder and CTO of Temporal.
Temporal lets developers build failure-proof applications in the programming language of your choice. API timeouts, network outages, and server crashes are abstracted away so your code stays laser-focused on its intended function. Retries, state management, long-running processes, and more, are handled for you — automatically.
Today, I’m excited to launch Temporal Cloud, the managed service version of our popular open source framework. We already run millions of Temporal workflows for high reliability and high scalability workloads with customers like OpenAI, Nvidia, Cloudflare, and Netflix, and now we’re ready to offer our self-serve offering to the public.
Among others, we’ve seen Temporal used for all sorts of interesting use cases, including:
💰 Payment Processing
🤖 AI / ML Orchestration
🛒 Order Management & Bookings
👩🦰 Lifecycle Management
💻 Infrastructure Management and CI/CD
I launched the first version of this platform as Tech Lead of Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) in 2004. Following that, I joined with Samar Abbas at Amazon in 2009 to create Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF). Samar then applied those learnings at Microsoft, creating the Durable Task Framework at Azure, and then at Uber, we reunited once more to create Cadence, which we open sourced as Temporal.
That means that Temporal benefits from over 20 years of learnings from AWS, Microsoft, and Uber!
My mission is to free developers from writing plumbing logic. Engineering teams should focus on writing code that drives business value, not code that covers their asses. Worse, over time, these mundane projects slow developer momentum and inhibit risk taking. If you want to unlock your “10x developers”, you need Temporal to do that grunt work.
I’m so confident in the transformation your team will experience with Temporal, that for a limited time, we’re offering $1,000 in credits to try Temporal Cloud.
Join over 350K active Temporal developers in building failure-proof applications.
We’d love to hear any of your feedback on what we’ve built, as well as any unique use cases you might have.

Who hunted Temporal Cloud?
Temporal Cloud was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
