Choose sdk-go if…
- sdk-go is primarily Go; sdk-typescript is TypeScript.
- Self-hosted or managed services supported, giving flexibility in deployment environments.
- Pricing: Free and open-source under MIT License for community use; enterprise support available at cost..
- Requirements: Requires a Go runtime environment.; Compatibility with Temporal service is necessary, whether self-hosted or using cloud-managed instances..
- Tags unique to sdk-go: golang, sdk-go, service-bus, temporal-sdk.
- When you need a Go-based solution for managing complex workflows that require stateful, long-running processes.
When NOT to use sdk-go
- Avoid if your project primarily deals with short-lived tasks where simple request-response messaging is sufficient and does not require durable, stateful workflows.
- Not recommended for teams not proficient in Go, as extensive familiarity with the language is crucial for leveraging this SDK's full capabilities.
Choose sdk-typescript if…
- sdk-typescript is primarily TypeScript; sdk-go is Go.
- Tags unique to sdk-typescript: microservices, typescript.
- You require TypeScript-specific features and strong typing for your durable execution and microservices orchestration projects.
When NOT to use sdk-typescript
- If you are working on a project that requires languages other than TypeScript or JavaScript as this specific SDK does not support them directly.
- When your project already utilizes another workflow engine or orchestration tool with incompatible architecture, making integration complex and inefficient.
