Temporal PHP SDK development information

This guide is meant to provide a comprehensive overview of the structures, primitives, and features used in Temporal Application development.

Foundations

The Foundations section of the Temporal Developer's guide covers the minimum set of concepts and implementation details needed to build and run a Temporal Application – that is, all the relevant steps to start a Workflow Execution that executes an Activity.

Features

The Features section of the Temporal Developer's guide provides basic implementation guidance on how to use many of the development features available to Workflows and Activities in the Temporal Platform.

Observability

Improve observability in your PHP-based Temporal Workflows. View which Workflow Executions are tracked by the Temporal Platform and the state of any Workflow Execution.

  • How to use Visibility APIs: The term Visibility, within the Temporal Platform, refers to the subsystems and APIs that enable an operator to view Workflow Executions that currently exist within a Cluster.

Testing

The Testing section of the Temporal Developer's guide covers the many ways to test the state of your Temporal Application; that is, ways to view which Workflow Executions are tracked by the Platform and the state of any given Workflow Execution, either currently or at points of an execution.

Debugging

The Debugging section of the Temporal Developer's guide covers the many ways to debug your application.

  • Debugging: Testing provides a framework to facilitate Workflow and integration testing.
