Temporal Workflow Management Demo

Overview

The project is structured into several namespaces, each representing different aspects of the hotel booking and payment system:

• HotelApp: Simulates hotel room reservation and backup processes.
• PaymentApp: Simulates payment processing and backup operations.
• TicketApp: Simulates ticket reservation and backup operations.
• Temporal.Client: A client application that triggers the execution of workflows using Temporal.
• Temporal.Workflow: Contains workflow and activity implementations.
• BookRoomActivities: Defines activities for booking hotel rooms, and tickets, and making payments.
• SendRoomTokenActivities: Defines an activity for sending a room token to the user.
• BookRoomWorkflow: Defines a Temporal workflow for booking rooms and tickets, and making payments.
• SendRoomTokenChildWorkflow: Defines a Temporal child workflow for send room token processes.

How It Works

The project demonstrates the creation and execution of workflows using Temporal's programming model. It involves:

• Initiating workflows for booking rooms, and tickets, and making payments.
• Performing activities such as room booking, ticket reservation, payment processing, and asynchronously sending room tokens.
• Managing workflow state and timeouts for different activities.

Getting Started

You need to install temporal cluster before running this application.

The following steps will run a local instance of the Temporal Server using the default configuration file (docker-compose.yml):

1. Clone this repository.
2. Change the directory to the root of the project.
3. Run the docker-compose up command.

git clone https://github.com/temporalio/docker-compose.git
cd  docker-compose
docker-compose up

• Clone this repository to your local machine.
• Install the Temporal CLI.
• Start the Temporal server using temporal start.
• Navigate to the Temporal.Workflow directory and run the Program.cs file to start the worker, which listens for and executes workflows and activities.
• Run the Temporal.Client program to trigger the execution of the workflows.

Prerequisites

To use these files, you must first have the following installed:

• Docker
• docker-compose

Dependencies

• Temporal: An open-source workflow orchestration framework.
• .NET Core: The cross-platform framework used for building and running the C# code.
