Farna Control vs Temporal: what's the difference?
Farna Control Team
Temporal is a durable execution platform: it runs your code to completion through network failures, process crashes, or infrastructure outages, and resumes an interrupted workflow from the last completed step. It handles retries, state persistence, and error recovery automatically, so a multi-step process that must complete exactly once is its core strength, and it is battle-tested at scale.
Farna Control is a self-hosted autonomous software factory on your infrastructure. It provides the complete factory floor for agentic software delivery, with intake, agent dispatch, verification, human review, merge, release and evidence built into the system. Its formal category is an Agentic Delivery Governance platform, and its pipeline engine applies graph engineering to compose the agents, gates and humans that move work through your SDLC.
What Temporal does not do
Temporal provides durable execution for the processes you define. It does not provide agent output validation, deterministic delivery gates, human-in-the-loop review, or progressive autonomy. Farna Control's factory uses those controls to govern the graph of agents, gates and humans that produce software, so the delivery record includes what happened and why.
How they relate
Temporal and Farna Control are complementary. Temporal can provide durable execution inside Farna Control, while Farna Control handles the delivery system, controls and evidence around agentic software work.
The principle behind this: deterministic gates catch failures before they reach a human reviewer, and audit as a first-class output records the decisions and outputs that shape a release.
