- in the age of agents, surely durable execution is a must.
but the money being raised - what is it for ? go to market ? sponsorship & I like that temporal sponsored Crystal Palace.
we've so many good durable execution engines.
this is the type of VC pollution that will cause companies to end up being acquired by an Italian silverware company (bending spoons).
by dzonga - > Our annualized revenue run rate is up more than 200% year over year, and net dollar retention's stayed above 200% since February. In August alone, the platform processed 1.9 trillion billable actions, up more than 350% year over year, while open source installs passed 43 million, up 134% since December 2025.

We're using temporal as the foundation for agents running on our platform doing accounting work for clients, it's proven extremely effective and I love how durable workflows are within temporal.
+100 on the technology, but realizing they are also VC funded makes me a little more cautious when it comes to vendor lock in.

It simplifies code by allowing it to focus on the goal instead of potential problems. It accelerates development by eliminating the need to write complex error-handling logic.Why is it such a big deal? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky
