About Temporal SDKs
Temporal SDKs are open-source tools enabling scalable and reliable application development. They feature APIs for Workflow and Activity execution, automatic retries, and resilience mechanisms, making it easier to build fault-tolerant applications.
Activity Definition
Learn about defining Temporal Activities, including Activity Types, parameters, and implementation details.
Activity Execution
Understand how Activity Executions work in Temporal, including retries, timeouts, and failure handling.
Child Workflows
A Child Workflow Execution in the Temporal platform is initiated from another Workflow within the same Namespace.
Codec Server
A Codec Server is an HTTP server that provides remote encoding and decoding for Temporal Payloads.
Default and Custom Data Converters
Learn about the default Data Converter in Temporal SDKs and how to implement a custom Data Converter for custom serialization and encoding needs.
Detecting Activity failures
Understand Activity Execution timeouts in Temporal; Schedule-To-Start, Start-To-Close, Schedule-To-Close, and Activity Heartbeats, for effective Workflow management.
Detecting application failures
In Temporal, timeouts detect and mitigate Workflow and Activity failures with automatic retries using configurable timeout settings and customizable RetryPolicies.
Detecting Workflows failures
Learn about Workflow Execution Timeout, Workflow Run Timeout, and Workflow Task Timeout in Temporal. Maximize Workflow efficiency and manage durations effectively.
Dual Visibility
This guide on Temporal Dual Visibility explains how to set up, configure, and use Dual Visibility in Temporal Server versions. Learn about configuring primary and secondary Visibility stores, migrating databases, and ensuring a smooth transition for Visibility data.

A Failure Converter transforms error messages and call stacks into encoded formats to enhance security and observability.
Global Namespace
This guide covers everything about Global Namespaces within the Temporal Platform.
Handling Signals, Queries, & Updates
Signals, Queries, and Updates facilitate interactions with Workflow Executions.
How does Temporal handle application data?
This guide explores Data Converters in the Temporal Platform, detailing how they handle serialization and encoding for Workflow inputs and outputs, ensuring data stays secure and manageable.

This guide on Temporal List Filters explains how to set up, configure, and use the List Filter API in Temporal Server versions. Learn how to filter and retrieve Workflow Executions, apply supported operators, and optimize queries for efficiency.
Local Activity
Learn about Local Activities in Temporal, their benefits, execution model, and when to use them.
Nexus Endpoints
Nexus Endpoints are reverse proxies that connect Nexus callers and handlers forwarding Nexus requests to an upstream target Namespace and Task Queue that a Worker is polling.
Nexus Operations
Learn about the Nexus Operation lifecycle, execution semantics, and automatic retries for reliable execution.
Nexus Registry
Use the Nexus Registry to manage Nexus Endpoints.
Nexus Services
Nexus Services are named collections of arbitrary-duration Nexus Operations that provide a microservice contract suitable for sharing across team boundaries.
Parent Close Policy
Understand the Parent-Child Workflow relationship, including when to use Child Workflows and Parent Close Policies.
Payload Codec
A Payload Codec performs bytes-to-bytes transformations on Temporal Payloads, often for compression and encryption.
Payload Converter
A Payload Converter serializes and deserializes values to and from bytes for use in the Temporal SDK.
Remote Data Encoding
Learn how to use remote encoding to transform data for the Temporal CLI and Web UI.
Search Attributes
This guide on Temporal Search Attributes explains how to set up, configure, and use default and custom Search Attributes in Temporal Server versions. Learn about supported types, limits, and how to use them to enhance Workflow filtering and querying.
Security in Temporal Nexus
Explore the security aspects of Temporal Nexus, including managing Nexus Endpoints, runtime access control, secure routing, and payload encryption to ensure safe and reliable cross-namespace operations.
Sending Signals, Queries, & Updates
Signals, Queries, and Updates facilitate interactions with Workflow Executions.
Tasks

Temporal Go SDK multithreading
The Temporal Go SDK ensures deterministic multithreading in Workflows using workflow.Go(), avoiding race conditions and eliminating the need for mutexes.
Temporal Namespace
This guide covers everything about Namespaces within the Temporal Platform, highlighting their role in Workflow isolation, setting up, registering, and managing Namespaces, and the concept and benefits of Global Namespaces.
Temporal Nexus
Temporal Nexus is a feature of the Temporal platform designed to connect durable executions across team, namespace, region, and cloud boundaries. It promotes a more modular architecture for sharing a subset of your team's capabilities via well-defined microservice contracts for other teams to use, that abstract underlying Temporal primitives, like Workflows, or execute arbitrary code.
Temporal Python SDK sandbox environment
The Temporal Python SDK offers a sandbox environment to run Workflow code, aiming to prevent non-determinism errors in applications by isolating global state and applying restrictions.
Temporal Python SDK synchronous vs. asynchronous Activity implementations
The Temporal Python SDK supports implementing Activities asynchronously with asyncio, synchronously with ThreadPoolExecutor or ProcessPoolExecutor. Choose the correct method to avoid application errors.
