Distributed programming is a means to an end, not a goal. If you had a computer with infinite cpu and ram and it could never crash and be geographically close to every customer, you would just use that and build your system on it as a dreaded “monolith”. Much simpler to grok such systems. Much easier to debug and monitor.

That’s what temporal enables.
