Temporal
Temporal Technologies
Durable execution platform that makes agent loops and workflows survive crashes, timeouts and multi-day human approvals.
Curated by Tiberiu ArvaVerified
Strengths
- Crash-proof agent loops via workflows
- OpenAI Agents SDK, Pydantic AI, ADK integrations
- Self-host MIT server or Temporal Cloud
Practitioner note
Use when agents must run for hours or days, pause for approvals, and resume exactly after failures; it adds a workflow-determinism discipline teams must learn. In the OpenAI Agents SDK integration, sandbox support is pre-release and streaming is experimental.
