Temporal workflow vs Cadence workflow

Question

How is temporal.io related to cadenceworkflow.io? What should be used if starting a new project depending on the cadence workflow service?

Answer 1

I'm from the Cadence team at Uber, and I wanted to let you know that Cadence continues to be developed actively by our team. Below is a section of the update that we shared with the Cadence community recently:

We want to reinforce that Uber's Cadence team is committed to the growth and open source development of the Cadence project. Today, Cadence powers 100+ different use cases within Uber and that number grows quickly. Collectively, there are 50M+ ongoing executions at any moment on average and our customers finish 3B+ executions per month. Outside of Uber, we also know that many engineering teams at various companies have already adopted Cadence for their business-critical workflows. We are excited to continue evolving Cadence as an open-source project in a backward-compatible way with an increased focus on reliability, scalability, and maintainability in the near term.

It's probably too early to compare Cadence and Temporal. Still, I have a few ideas around how we can systematically shed light on Cadence's roadmap to ensure all the necessary information is out there to enable such comparisons going forward. I'll update this post with links when we create a page with information about the roadmap.

In the meantime, please let me know if you need further information about Cadence that would be helpful in this context.
