This post details how Temporal Workflows can be used to modernize monolithic applications by introducing durable execution for complex, cross-domain processes. It explains the challenges of managing ephemeral state in distributed systems and how Temporal's event sourcing and durable execution model solve this by storing process state durably. The post provides an example of an order management system workflow and highlights the benefits of using Temporal for process visibility, cognitive simplicity, domain division with orchestrated control, management of ephemeral data, testing simplicity, and scalability without data loss. It also discusses how Temporal can be used to add durability and visibility to existing monoliths without breaking them apart.
