Temporal, the creators of Durable Execution, recently onboarded its thousandth paying customer to Temporal Cloud after providing the service for just over a year. This number represents a small percentage of the companies that have adopted Temporal, with thousands more using it as freely available open source software.

Organizations use Temporal to improve the reliability of their applications – such as distributed systems and AI applications – and to dramatically accelerate time-to-market for new apps, services and features. They turn to Temporal Cloud to ease management complexity of the service and to efficiently scale their investment in the platform.

Temporal Cloud was made generally available in October 2022 and has attracted over 1000 marquee customers including top-tier companies across a wide array of industries – like Nvidia, Snap, Netflix, and Alaska Airlines – as well as some of the most innovative, emerging startups globally such as Retool, Turo and Drata.

The co-founders of Temporal, Maxim Fateev and Samar Abbas, have been building on the concept of Durable Execution for almost twenty years while at AWS, Google, Microsoft and Uber.

“As developers, Samar and I have grappled with the complexities of system failures and infrastructure intricacies in our code for quite some time,” revealed Maxim Fateev, co-founder and CEO of Temporal. “Temporal emerged from this frustration, and we are deeply honored that a multitude of developers and organizations now rely on it to significantly streamline their code and enhance their development journey. Temporal is quickly evolving into an essential building block of the modern application stack.”
