Spooky Stories: Money transfers on the edge of town

A fictional tale of a haunted bank highlights the real challenges faced by a financial institution, referred to as Money Co., which struggled with frequent failures in its SFTP-based process for uploading and downloading account balances and transfers. These failures often required human intervention and caused operational delays, exacerbated by the system's inability to handle heavy database loads. To address these issues, Money Co. migrated its daily sweep process to Temporal, a move that improved system stability and resilience by leveraging Temporal's event history for error investigation and allowing for a gradual, controlled rollout of improvements. This migration not only delivered immediate positive impacts but also provided a more reliable foundation for future operations.
