You can absolutely approach it that way, but AFAIK those are highly integrated but still discrete solutions. Temporal provides a unified model for these things instead of requiring people to stitch things together themselves. Due to Temporal handling all of the things, you also get additional value out of the centralization (you can see the live source of truth for any running business process).

I do agree that Temporal is heavyweight both in terms of the learning curve and deployment requirements.

For disclosure I’m the Head of Product at Temporaly. We know things can be better and we are working on it.

I can't wait for Temporal's cloud offering to work for the "small dev". It would be so wonderful to only need to worry about the learning curve of using the tool, and not the deployment + cost. It would be great to be able to reach for it for any little project that needed robust persistent workflows.

Completely and totally agree! Don't lose faith we will get there I promise.
