Stop a Workflow already in progress, either by asking it to unwind the work it has done or by closing it outright when it can't respond.

Cancellation asks a Workflow to stop and run cleanup. Termination stops it immediately without cleanup. Compare the two and what each records.

Use Temporal Workflow IDs to build a durable, safe locking system for your shared resources.

Discover Temporal's Workflow, Activity, and Worker framework; orchestrate steps, encapsulate business logic, and execute code efficiently using the Temporal SDK in your favorite language.

Terminate a Standalone Activity Execution if it's still running, then remove its record from the Temporal Service asynchronously.

Understand Activity Execution timeouts in Temporal; Schedule-To-Start, Start-To-Close, Schedule-To-Close, and Activity Heartbeats, for effective Workflow management.

Extends Early Return by running Phase 1 as Local Activities, so the client's first response comes from in-process work, not a server call.

Handle errors with Temporal .NET SDK

Catch the right exception types, wrap checked exceptions, and inspect failures correctly in Temporal Java Workflows and Activities.

Learn how to handle errors in Temporal Python applications with retry policies, idempotent Activities, and recovery patterns.

Handle errors with Temporal Ruby SDK

Discover how Temporal uses the Event History to recreate a Workflow's state in the case of failure, such as a Worker crash, and how it uses replay to restore the Workflow's state to the point of failure.

Run background jobs as Standalone Activities with durable retries, timeouts, priority and fairness dispatch, and per-job visibility without a Workflow.

Local Activities run inside the Worker process, skipping server round-trips for short, idempotent Activities on a latency-sensitive path.

Learn about Local Activities that run in the same Worker process as the Workflow that schedules it, trading full durability for lower latency and a smaller Event History.

Long-running Activities report progress via heartbeats and enable resumption after failures with cancellation support.

Handle temporary spikes in usage by dynamically provisioning extra capacity when you need it, and deprovision it when you don't.

Executes multiple Activities concurrently for maximum throughput with error handling and controlled parallelism.

Stop an Activity's retries without closing the Execution, detect a Pause from Activity code, and resume it later with Unpause.

Races multiple Activities in parallel, returns the first completed result, and cancels the remaining Activities using SDK cancellation scopes.

Protect player sessions from backend failures by using the Actor pattern.

Strategies for polling external resources with varying frequencies: frequent, infrequent, and periodic patterns.

Build durable human-in-the-loop Workflows that can recover even if the humans are delayed.

Ask an Activity Execution to close gracefully so your code can clean up, and what to expect when an attempt is already running.

Clear an Activity's retry state and schedule a fresh attempt, including what happens when an attempt is already running.

Manages distributed transactions with compensating actions. Each step has a compensation that undoes its effects if subsequent steps fail.

How to run a customer loyalty program with durable Workflows provided by Temporal

Resume a Paused Activity Execution so its next attempt starts immediately, with options to reset retry state as it resumes.

Change an Activity's timeouts, Retry Policy, or Task Queue while it runs, without restarting the Execution or losing retry state.

Visualize Activity Execution times, experiment with timeouts, Retry Policies, and simulate scenarios with our tool. Configure retries and see their impact on success or failure.
