Durable execution is good for atomicity, but this approach also gives you isolation. If you're doing updates on both Postgres and Mongo and you want to guarantee both updates happen, Temporal can do that. But if you want isolation, for example the guarantee that any operation that can see the Postgres update can also see the MongoDB update, then you need distributed transactions like in Epoxy.
