Co-author here! For those unfamiliar with Temporal, here's an excerpt from the post:
We think of Temporal as a "durable code execution framework." We execute your backend code in a durable fashion: by persisting each step your program takes, we can recover your program's state in the event of failure—even if the machine goes offline or loses power in the middle of execution. We also durably retry and timeout external calls, so if your services or databases are unreachable or returning errors, we will keep retrying until they're back in a good state. This allows backend engineers to develop at a new, higher level of abstraction that is oblivious to faults in the system.

Temporal is great, I’ve been trying to invent something very close to it for some time. I’m also very excited by the Python SDK, will be useful for math/ML heavy tasks
