Temporal raises $550M at a $12.55B valuation

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Just a year ago, most of the systems we talked about with our customers were familiar. Things like payments, onboarding, and fulfillment. Now, the stakes are higher. Customers are asking to run agents that work for days, weeks, or months, and this is becoming the new normal.
