Why I needed Durable Execution to read a toy manual

What this post added

This post details the architecture and implementation of Toku Solutions, a pipeline for translating Japanese toy manuals into editable static sites. It highlights the use of Temporal Workflows and Activities for managing the pipeline, including fan-out OCR by page, retry policies for translation APIs, heartbeating for long-running site generation, and the use of LLMs (Gemini) within Activities for AI cleanup. The post emphasizes the importance of Pydantic validation for LLM output to maintain deterministic Workflow execution and the benefits of Durable Execution for handling failures and partial progress.
