    Can someone shed some lights on what temporal does? Their blog says [1]Durable Execution offers three key benefits: It improves application reliability by providing fault tolerance. 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. So... like exception handling? or something like erlang's let it crash mantra?Why is it such a big deal? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky[1] https://temporal.io/blog/what-is-durable-execution

    Absolutely love temporal, but pretty shocked to see they have a $12.55B valuation.... feels nuts?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.

    > 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 now working with more than 4,300 paying customers, up 139% year over year, including OpenAI, Snap, NVIDIA, and JPMorgan Chase.Congrats to Temporal! They'd just previously raised in February, https://temporal.io/blog/temporal-raises-usd300m-series-d-at...

    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).

    That’s 1/3 what IBM paid for Red Hat, simply insane.
