Platform Overview
Temporal provides durable execution -- application state survives process crashes, infrastructure failures, and deployments through event-sourced replay. The platform consists of the Temporal Service (server + persistence) and application code (Workers + Clients). Workers execute Workflow and Activity code on user infrastructure; the Temporal Service coordinates task dispatch, state persistence, and timer management.
