Modernizing monoliths with Temporal
Oct 30, 2024

Summary
This post details a recommended approach for modernizing monolithic applications by leveraging Temporal Workflows to manage complex, cross-domain processes. It introduces the concept of 'domain thinking' and 'ephemeral state' in the context of monoliths and explains how Temporal Workflows provide a durable and observable solution for orchestrating these processes. The post provides a code example of a Temporal Workflow for order management, highlighting the benefits of code-first orchestration, process visibility, and simplified testing. It also discusses how Temporal can add durability and visibility to existing monoliths without requiring a full microservices decomposition.
