Reviewer Notes

Purpose-built for durable execution — exactly what long-running agent workflows need. TypeScript/Python/Go SDKs. Temporal Cloud free tier includes 5M workflow actions/month. Worker SDK abstracts all the retry/timeout logic. No MCP server but REST API and gRPC available. Self-hostable (open source). Strong community.
