Example Applications

Explore example applications and code samples that use Temporal and gain a clearer understanding of how everything fits together.

Reference applications​

Reference applications are fully documented, end-to-end solutions that show how to use Temporal for a particular use case. If you're new to Temporal, these are a great place to start to understand its capabilities.

Example applications​

While not intended for production use, Example Applications can nonetheless be useful for seeing Temporal in action for particular use cases and architectural design patterns.

Use cases​

  • Order Fulfillment [TypeScript] A Temporal workflow for a sample e-commerce order fulfillment use case. This demo showcases Temporal's powerful durability and interactive capabilities. See companion video.
  • Money Transfer [Java] [TypeScript] demonstrates core value propositions of Temporal. A custom UI allows users to choose from a number of simulated failure scenarios and use of Temporal primitives such as signals and schedules.
  • Orchestrate Lambda Functions [TypeScript] A Temporal version of the AWS Step Functions: Lambda orchestration example which uses Lambda functions to check a stock price and determine a buy or sell trading recommendation.

Design patterns​

  • Entity Workflow demo [Go] The purpose of this demo is to illustrate some of the interesting properties of the Entity Lifecycle Pattern (aka Entity Workflows). See companion slide deck on Long-running workflows.
  • Order Saga sample [Java] Demonstrates Temporal's enhanced support for the Saga pattern, supporting recovery from failed transactions. See this companion video to see a demonstration of the example.

Data encryption​

See the Codec Server documentation for more information.

  • Codec Server with JWT validation [TypeScript] The codec server uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to confirm the authenticity of JWTs issued by Temporal Cloud.
  • Codec CORS credentials [Go] An implementation of a Temporal Codec Server that supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), and specifically CORS requests with credentials.

Samples​

Samples are more targeted examples that showcase particular Temporal features or common patterns.

More examples coming soon.
