Enabling platform engineering with Temporal: 5 practical use cases

What this post added

This post details five practical use cases for Temporal in platform engineering: incident response/runbook automation, certificate rotation, infrastructure management, CI/CD pipeline orchestration, and Internal Developer Platform (IDP) automation. It highlights how Temporal Workflows can encode incident response logic, manage certificate rotation with resilience and visibility, automate infrastructure lifecycle management, orchestrate complex CI/CD pipelines with stateful workflows and dynamic rollbacks, and serve as the backbone for IDP automation by encapsulating complex tasks and coordinating across multiple systems. Examples from Datadog, Temporal Cloud, and Netflix are provided to illustrate these applications.
