I spent two months screen-sharing to ship one integration. So I rebuilt it on Temporal.

A former warehouse automation engineer shares how a painful two-month integration project — involving daily screen-sharing calls with a remote networking team to configure a firewalled edge device — inspired him to rebuild the solution using Temporal as a durable orchestration layer. The core insight: instead of negotiating inbound firewall rules and hand-rolling retry logic, the proxy application maintains a single outbound connection to Temporal, which doubles as a control channel. Configuration changes hot-reload over that existing connection with no restarts, no redeployment, and no inbound ports required. The project is open source (MIT) and replaces the traditional queue + polling + defensive code stack with Temporal's built-in durability and visibility.
