Now in public preview across Python, Go, Java, TypeScript, and .NET, standalone activities let developers execute any Temporal activity directly via a single SDK client call — without an enclosing workflow — while retaining all platform features: automatic retries, deduplication, heartbeating, priority/fairness, full UI visibility, and lifecycle control. Coinbase shared how they are migrating their homegrown Redis-backed background job service (200–600M jobs/day across 186 namespaces) to standalone activities to eliminate a single-coordinator bottleneck, noisy-neighbor retry contention, and operational overhead. Technically, standalone activities use the same durable state machine as workflow-embedded activities, making the feature set identical. Upcoming additions include start delay, schedule-based triggering, Nexus integration, and export support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
