Building reliable distributed systems with Temporal: Error handling and workflow management

Building resilient distributed systems is complex, but Temporal’s workflow management framework offers powerful abstractions to reduce that complexity. This session demonstrates how developers can use Temporal’s TypeScript SDK to orchestrate robust workflows, manage retries and failures, preserve state across worker crashes, and incorporate human-in-the-loop steps. Using a real-world e-commerce order fulfillment scenario, the talk covers error handling for expired credit cards, implementing signal handlers, setting up timeouts, and monitoring workflows through Temporal’s web UI. Ideal for engineers building fault-tolerant systems that must handle complex business logic with confidence.
