Activity Definition

Learn how to define a Temporal Activity; Activity Types, parameters, constraints, idempotency, and retry behavior for the function your Worker runs.

Activity Execution

Learn how to start an Activity as a durable Activity Execution with built-in retries, timeouts, and failure handling.

Activity Operations

Learn how to manage a running Activity Execution with commands to Pause, Unpause, Reset, Update Options, Request Cancel, Terminate, and Delete.

Delete an Activity

Terminate a Standalone Activity Execution if it's still running, then remove its record from the Temporal Service asynchronously.

Job Queue

Standalone Activities adds the ability to execute any Temporal Activity as a top-level primitive without the full overhead of a Workflow.

Pause an Activity

Stop an Activity's retries without closing the Execution, detect a Pause from Activity code, and resume it later with Unpause.

Request Cancel for an Activity

Ask an Activity Execution to close gracefully so your code can clean up, and what to expect when an attempt is already running.

Reset an Activity

Clear an Activity's retry state and schedule a fresh attempt, including what happens when an attempt is already running.

Standalone Activity

Learn about durable job processing with Standalone Activities that run independently from a Workflow.

Terminate an Activity

Forcefully close a Standalone Activity Execution immediately, with no opportunity for your Activity code to clean up first.

Unpause an Activity

Resume a Paused Activity Execution so its next attempt starts immediately, with options to reset retry state as it resumes.

Update Activity Options

Change an Activity's timeouts, Retry Policy, or Task Queue while it runs, without restarting the Execution or losing retry state.

What is a Temporal Activity?

Learn how Temporal turns a plain function you write into a Temporal Activity and durably executes it as a Workflow step or background job.
