This post details the implementation of a property management system using Temporal Workflows. It showcases a polling workflow that initiates child workflows for maintenance requests, managing state, timeouts, and human interactions via Signals. The post highlights the use of Activities with retry policies for interacting with unreliable external systems and the benefits of child workflows for independent lifecycle management. It also discusses an anti-pattern in polling loops and presents a more idiomatic approach using server-side Activity retries to manage workflow history size and improve efficiency.
