It is interesting seeing the comments here, the comments from adopters is there is a lot of value but it taking time to get up to speed. Those new to temporal a lot of questions seeking understanding.

I have spent a lot of time in the adjacent space of event driven systems and there, like here, it seems like some of the biggest challenge is just education.

I wouldn't say that EDA or workflow based systems are preferable to traditional API services with DBs, just that the space they occupy in the industry is so large that I think it is really really hard if you to introducing any different paradigms, even when you focus on domains where API services aren't a great fit (like here with long running, complex operations).

My point with this comment is simply that I think if you are trying to build anything that does things differently, developer education is as important or even more important than design and architecture, but often not considered because those building these systems are already so deep into it that they can't approach the problem as an outsider.
