No, DriftQ Is Not Trying to Be Temporal

I get this question a lot. Somebody sees DriftQ-Core for the first time, reads "durable broker" and "replayable workflows," and the first thing they ask is: "so how is this different from Temporal?" Totally fair question. Here's the honest answer. Temporal is incredible. Use it if you need it. I'm not going to sit here and pretend DriftQ is some kind of competitor to Temporal. Temporal has been worked on for over a decade. It grew out of Uber's Cadence project. Thousands of companies run it in production. Stripe, Netflix, Datadog, real stuff at real scale. The team behind it has basically been thinking about durable execution longer than most of us have been thinking about distributed systems at all. If you need a full orchestration platform with deterministic workflow replay, multi-service scaling, rich message passing (signals, queries, updates), official SDKs in seven languages, namespace-based multi-tenancy, and a managed cloud option, that's Temporal. Go use it. Seriously. DriftQ
