The Foundations section of the Temporal Developer's guide introduces essential concepts for building and running a Temporal Application, outlining steps to start Workflow and Activity Execution, running development Workers, and installing the Temporal CLI.
Learn how to create a Workflow Definition, develop a basic Activity, initiate Activity Execution, and run a Development Worker using the Temporal Java SDK. Master essential concepts such as Workflow interface annotations, Activity definitions, custom Activity Types, and asynchronous Activity invocations to build robust and scalable Temporal applications.
Learn how to use a custom Payload Codec and Payload Converter in Go. Create custom PayloadCodec implementations, set Data Converters, and apply transformations effectively using the Temporal SDK.
Use debugger tools and set TEMPORAL_DEBUG to true for debugging Workflow Definitions with the Temporal Go SDK, and debug production Workflows via Web UI, CLI, or tracing.
Explore how to monitor your Temporal Application state using Metrics, Tracing, Logging, and Visibility features. Learn about emitting metrics, configuring tracing, context propagation, customized logging, and utilizing search attributes with the Temporal Go SDK for enhanced Workflow Execution insights.
Temporal's Go SDK ensures Workflow determinism through Patching APIs and Worker Versioning. Learn how to update Workflow code without causing non-deterministic issues, understand versioning best practices, and use dynamic configuration parameters for seamless updating of long-running Workflows.
