The tool's cost depends on how you implement it. If you're running it in-house, using your own infrastructure like Kubernetes, and managing your own database (e.g., Cassandra), the cost isn't different from what you might be paying for other workflow management solutions. However, you may save some costs by consolidating multiple jobs into a single workflow, which can reduce the number of workloads and resources you need. On the other hand, cloud hosting might be more expensive. We haven't tried cloud hosting, so I can't provide specific details on that, but it's something to consider if you're looking at cloud-based options.
Temporal is a free, open-source tool. You don't have to pay anything. You just have to install the software and run it. Unless you go for the cloud version, you don't have to pay anything. If you go for other ETL tools, like ADF, you have to pay some price even for basic things. Temporal can be used for some basic things. Temporal is an open-source tool, and you can write anything customizable in Python code.
Temporal delivers durable execution. It abstracts away the complexity of building scalable distributed systems and lets you keep focus on what matters – delivering reliable systems, faster. It allows you to avoid coding for infrastructure nuances and their inevitable failures.
Temporal eliminates recovery logic, callbacks, and timers from your code so you can spend more time building features.
Temporal makes your software durable and fault tolerant by default, reducing failures by 10-100X....
Temporal OSS is expensive in infrastructure, but it brings back the reliability that companies need.
