Building a better job queue with Temporal and Coinbase

August 13, 2026 at 9am PDT/12pm EDT

If you’ve ever built or maintained a background job system in production, you’ve likely dealt with the following issues:

  1. Critical jobs are lost during crashes, deploys, or restarts, never to be seen again
  2. Limited visibility and execution control into what is happening, making troubleshooting take hours longer than needed
  3. The operational burden of self-hosting and tuning is keeping your teams up all night 

Traditional job queues aren’t cutting it anymore. Homegrown systems may seem effective at first, but stitching on reliability, isolation, and observability on top of a job queue is exceedingly difficult for teams, especially in production and at scale. With Temporal Standalone Activities, you can now build a job system that is reliable at scale, automatically retried, and fairly scheduled, with full lifecycle controls and built-in visibility.  

Join us for a webinar with Temporal's product team and Coinbase as we walk through how Standalone Activities work, and hear firsthand how Coinbase replaced their homegrown job queue system with Temporal. 

In this webinar you’ll learn about the following:

  • Learn about how we built Standalone Activities and how they will change your job queue system
  • Hear from Coinbase on how they were able to replace their fund flows, compliance, customer onboarding systems from a homegrown job queue to the Temporal platform
  • See a live demo of how to build a Standalone Activity in minutes
