[frontier] How to build agents that survive process restarts crashes or days-long waits for external events without losing state
Use Temporal.io durable execution to wrap agent steps as workflows with automatic checkpointing after each action supporting async sleep and resumption exactly where left off even after days
Journey Context:
Standard agents lose all progress on restart and cannot efficiently wait for human signals or webhooks. Temporal treats agent runs as durable workflows with automatic persistence after each tool call allowing agents to sleep for days on await workflow sleep and resume exactly where left off with full context including local variables
