Getting Started with YugabyteDB, Temporal, and the Temporal-Maru Benchmarking Tool

To integrate YugabyteDB with Temporal, developers can follow the high-level steps outlined in this blog post to create a YugabyteDB cluster, clone and compile Temporal, connect to the YugabyteDB cluster using temporal-sql-tool, create two databases (temporal and temporal_visibility) in the YugabyteDB cluster, create a Temporal cluster in Kubernetes, and run the bench tests pod. This integration enables developers to build workflows in code and operate resilient applications using developer-friendly primitives. With this setup, developers can horizontally scale their Temporal persistent datastores using YugabyteDB. The use of Maru as a benchmarking tool helps answer questions about capacity planning, while also providing numerous options for configuring workflows.
