Summary

Modernizing monolithic systems using Temporal can address common challenges such as agility, performance, scalability, cognitive load, quality, domain clarity, and time to value. By breaking down a monolith into domains with well-defined boundaries, teams can improve ownership, quality, performance, and delivery speed. Temporal Workflows simplify managing complex, distributed transactions by storing each process state durably and orchestrating processes across systems, eliminating the risk of state loss and simplifying testing. Temporal enhances a monolith's durability and visibility by managing ephemeral state and facilitating reliable cross-domain processes, making it easier to support and allowing for more confident changes. Whether transitioning to microservices or adding Temporal Workflows to a monolith, this approach can increase durability, visibility, and clarity, while ensuring consistent and reliable systems.
