(Virtual) Vibe Check: Temporal SDKs are Not a Thin Client

​Join Chad and Melanie for a live deep dive into the Temporal open source SDKs. It’s easy to assume the SDK is just a thin client making gRPC calls but the real execution logic lives in the OSS codebase. We’ll explore things like how workflows run locally, how deterministic replay works, and how event history and task queues drive execution.

We’ll also talk about why this being open source matters: transparency, debuggability, and the ability to truly understand (and trust) the system running your code. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually happening between the server and your workflow and why it’s far more than “just API calls” this session is for you.
