Guest Quote
&ldquo;[Temporal] has this notion of workflows, which can run for a very long time and handle external events, you can treat them as a durable actor. And they're very good at implementing a lifecycle. For example, you can have an object per model and let this object handle all the events. Like, new data came in, notify this object, this object will go and retrain it. Or, it'll run an activity to superiorly check the status. So you can have end-to-end lifecycle implemented fully in Temporal.&rdquo; &ndash; Maxim Fateev
