It’s hard to follow a path if you can’t see it. I recommend putting your code guidelines in writing. They should be easy to follow and flexible enough to apply to many situations. Here are some of mine I’ve developed over the past decade:

Replay Testing To Avoid Non-Determinism in Temporal Workflows
Deploying an updated version of Temporal workflow code can result in errors if there are non-deterministic changes to the code. Determinism is verified during the “replay“ process that rebuilds the last known state of an ongoing workflow in order to continue its execution. Rebuilding execution state enables Temporal to support long-sleeping workflows and reliably relocate workflow executions to another worker when one crashes.

Sending Transactional Emails with Remix and Amazon AWS SES
Almost any web app with authenticated users will need to send some emails. You could work around it by using an authenticated service like Auth0 or AWS Incognito, but let’s assume you’ve set up Remix with a stack that ships with built-in authentication.

Using Temporal Cloud With On-Prem Data
Using cloud services is standard practice for most backend application architectures. When using cloud services, it is important to understand and control what data is leaving your network and being sent to the cloud. Temporal Cloud has great options available to ensure that data sent to and from the cloud is securely encrypted. This post will showcase how Temporal Cloud might interact with your infrastructure by default and how you can customize Temporal to prevent any user or business-related data from being sent to the cloud.

Intro to Temporal Architecture and Essential Metrics
Managing your own Temporal cluster is a daunting task. Between the four core services, the myriad of metrics to monitor, and a separate persistence service, it's a sizeable undertaking for any team. This post begins a new series that will review the work involved in hosting Temporal yourself and try to demystify it.

How to Generalize Component Props With Type Safety
Creating reusable components is often hindered by excess code accounting for each use case the components need to support. For example, a dropdown that supports text, links, buttons, and even complex components, or a text component that supports multiple different types of HTML tags, in addition to reusable components as well. In both cases, a variety of props will exist for each type of component we pass in that may need to be shared between the parent and child.

Temporal Is a Swiss Army Knife For Your Distributed Systems
Bitovi’s Backend Consulting team has had the pleasure of working with Temporal for several different use cases over the last few years. Temporal has greatly simplified complex distributed systems and helped our team focus more on achieving business goals and to spend less time handling errors, among many other things. Temporal isn’t a silver bullet, but it is helpful in a variety of different situations.
