For the GP poster - I agree with Maxim here. We've been evaluating workflow orchestration and durable function systems for a while and finally whittled down to where we think we're going to pull the trigger on either Azure Durable Functions or Temporal. Temporal is really nice - the fact that you are "just writing code" is such a huge bonus over some other stuff like AWS Step Functions, Cadence, and Conductor.
As an aside, the engineering/sales engineering team over there seems top notch.
E.g. if I have a “shopping cart checkout” workflow and the user is not making progress, how can I can I tell which step of the workflow the user is stuck at?
The ease of troubleshooting is one of the frequently cited benefits of the approach.
