Temporal
This module integrates Drupal with Temporal.io to manage long-running background processes that go beyond the capabilities of core Queue and Batch APIs. It allows you to define and run robust, resumable workflows and activities, ensuring that even if processes are interrupted, they can resume from where they left off without losing progress.
This module provides integration with Temporal.io, a platform for managing very long-running background processes when Drupal’s Queue and Batch APIs are not sufficient.
The fundamental unit in Temporal is an activity. Examples include generating a report from a single entity or indexing an entity. A workflow is a long-running process that tells Temporal which activities to run.
Temporal stores the input and output of activities in a durable event log. Because of this, if a workflow stops for any reason, it can resume exactly where it left off without rerunning completed activities. Failed activities can also be retried automatically as needed. Workflows can be started on demand or scheduled.
If you have drupal/opentelemetry installed then you need to upgrade to at least 1.0-beta7 with composer require drupal/opentelemetry:"^1.0@beta" --update-with-dependencies before installing this module otherwise the installation will be broken.
Historical note: the 8.x-1.x branch contains a completely different module for tracking changes in fields on nodes and users developed by codexmas with funding from Acquia.
