    "excerpt": "Just a year ago, most systems companies wanted to run reliably were familiar ones - payments, onboarding, fulfillment. Now customers want AI agents that run for days, weeks, or months without breaking. Temporal , the company that has spent years answering the reliability question at that scale, has raised a large new round. Temporal lets developers write ordinary code while the platform handles orchestration, state preservation, and automatic recovery from failures - what the company calls “Durable Execution.” Netflix, Snap, Stripe, Coinbase, OpenAI, ADP, and JPMorgan Chase run it in production. The company’s growth numbers are steep. Annualized revenue run rate is up more than 200% year over year, and net dollar retention has stayed above 200% since February. In August alone, the platform processed 1.9 trillion billable actions, up more than 350% year over year, while open source installs passed 43 million, up 134% since December 2025. Temporal now counts more than 4,300 paying customers, up 139% year over year - Snap moves 414 million Stories a day on the platform, JPMorgan Chase runs it in regulated production, and OpenAI’s usage has grown 60-fold in under a year.
