temporal-saga-grpc

This project demonstrates using Temporal to orchestrate a saga (effectively a distributed transaction) that interacts with multiple services and has a robust, edge-case-proof rollback strategy, as well as durable function execution. Temporal abstracts away failures.

Getting started

Step 1: Spin everything up

You can spin everything up with:

make

[!NOTE]

Under the hood, we use a bunch of tools (which you can read about here), but to run things seamlessly locally, the one tool you will need is pkgx.

Step 2: Observe the workflow

Let's get ready to observe this thing in action!

• View traces in Jaeger — localhost:16686.
• View the workflow in Temporal's UI — localhost:8233.

Step 3: Start a Temporal Workflow

curl -v http://localhost:8081/temporal.v1beta1.TemporalService/CreateOnboardingWorkflow \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data-binary @- <<EOF
