temporal-beats-triggerdev-for-self-hosted-agent-orchestration

Temporal is the definitive choice over Trigger.dev for self-hosted autonomous agent orchestration at scale. Trigger.dev’s CRIU checkpointing (resume from mid-crash) is cloud-only — self-hosted restarts from step 0 on crash. Temporal’s deterministic replay resumes from the exact failure point without re-executing prior steps, preventing duplicate API calls and lost state. Temporal is MIT-licensed, battle-tested by OpenAI/Stripe/Netflix, and handles 300K workflows/second.
