What if your code never failed?
Temporal keeps your code running even when things break. Your app never loses its place, no matter what goes wrong. And they love cats. Obviously.
Who Are Temporal?
Temporal is a free, open-source tool that saves your code's progress as it runs. If something crashes, your code picks up right where it left off. Your 3am pager stays silent.
It was built by Maxim Fateev and Samar Abbas (the people behind AWS SQS, Azure Durable Functions, and Uber's Cadence). It's been running in production for over 9 years. Companies like Snap, Netflix, Stripe, and OpenAI use it for their most important stuff.

Hit "Run" and watch what happens when a workflow crashes with and without Temporal.
Say you're building an app that takes payments, sends emails, and updates a database. Normally, if any of those steps fail, you're writing loads of retry logic and error handling. It's painful.
Temporal says: "Nah, just write your code normally. We'll handle the failures." If something crashes, your code picks up right where it stopped. Think of it like a save point in a video game, but for your backend.
They support TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, and .NET. So whatever language you're using this weekend, Temporal's got you covered.
The Sponsorship Story
Temporal has been a long-term sponsor of the coding.kitty channel, so when we asked them about sponsoring #hackthekitty, their response was basically: "A hackathon with cats? Say no more."
Beyond being great people, Temporal genuinely cares about developer communities. They're open-source (Apache 2.0 licence), they run one of the most active developer Slack groups out there, and they think the best way to grow is by helping developers build cool things. Which is exactly what #hackthekitty is about.
Their support helps us keep this hackathon free, fund prizes, and give every participant the best experience possible. Massive thanks to the entire Temporal team for backing what we're building here.
Cats of Temporal
The real stars of Temporal. These cats have sat through more stand-ups than most engineers.
Want to try Temporal?
It's free to get started. Build something for #hackthekitty that keeps running no matter what. The judges will love it.
