Temporal Cloud - Develop failure-proof applications

@ihuzaifashoukat Great question! Since this requires more of a thorough answer than I can provide just in a comment, check out our free course on error handling and retries in Temporal: https://learn.temporal.io/course...

@ihuzaifashoukat Temporal relies on the concept of “durable execution”. So your workflow is just a code in the programming language of your choice and the native programming language techniques can be used for error handling. In the languages that support exceptions usually try-catch-finally is used for error handling. Go relies on the explicit passing of errors. The failures are propagated across process boundaries seamlessly. So you can get a stack trace that includes failures from multiple processes written in multiple languages. This is really cool assuming that all communication between this processes is fully asynchronous. See the newly released course on error handling for more details: https://learn.temporal.io/course... Retries of activities that are making external API calls is done automatically according to the specified exponential retry policy. Note that the duration of retries (as well as the duration of an activity execution) is practically unlimited unless the limit is explicitly specified.
