The city of systems: Temporal, Kafka, and Nexus

This post introduces Temporal Nexus as a new infrastructure component that acts as 'durable bridges' connecting services. It explains how Nexus ensures operations initiated between services are completed with certainty, regardless of duration or failures, providing exactly-once semantics. This is positioned as a complement to Kafka's event broadcasting and Temporal's workflow orchestration, enabling direct, guaranteed inter-service operations that can span seconds, minutes, or days.
