# Phase 5: Temporal Integration - Implementation Complete

**TraceRTM Unified Infrastructure Architecture**

**Date**: 2026-01-31
**Status**: ✅ Core Implementation Complete
**Next Phase**: Service Integration

---

## Executive Summary

Phase 5 of the TraceRTM infrastructure modernization has been successfully implemented. This phase replaces Hatchet workflow orchestration with Temporal, providing a self-hosted, production-ready workflow engine with advanced features and better developer experience.

**Completion**: 85% (Core infrastructure complete, service integration pending)

---

## What Was Implemented

### 1. Temporal Worker ✅

**File**: `src/tracertm/workflows/worker.py`

**Features**:
- Connects to Temporal server at `localhost:7233`
- Registers 8 workflows and 8 activities
- Task queue: `tracertm-tasks`
- Full async/await support
- Comprehensive logging
- Error handling and recovery

**Usage**:
```bash
# Start worker
python -m tracertm.workflows.worker

# Or via Overmind
overmind start temporal_worker
```

---

### 2. Workflow Definitions ✅

**File**: `src/tracertm/workflows/workflows.py`

**Implemented Workflows**:

| Workflow | Purpose | Timeout | Retries |
|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| `GraphSnapshotWorkflow` | Create graph version snapshots | 10 min | 3 |
| `GraphValidationWorkflow` | Validate graph integrity | 10 min | 3 |
| `GraphExportWorkflow` | Export graphs to JSON | 15 min | 3 |
| `GraphDiffWorkflow` | Compare graph versions | 10 min | 3 |
| `IntegrationSyncWorkflow` | Process pending syncs | 30 min | 3 |
| `IntegrationRetryWorkflow` | Retry failed syncs | 30 min | 3 |
| `IndexingWorkflow` | Index repository code | 30 min | 3 |
| `AnalysisWorkflow` | Quality analysis | 20 min | 3 |

**Features**:
- Durable execution (survives server restarts)
- Configurable timeouts
- Exponential backoff retry policies
- Activity orchestration
- Workflow logging

---

### 3. Activity Definitions ✅

**File**: `src/tracertm/workflows/activities.py`

**Implemented Activities**:

| Activity | Function | Integration |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `index_repository` | Repository indexing | New feature |
| `analyze_quality` | Quality analysis | New feature |
| `create_graph_snapshot` | Create snapshot | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |
| `validate_graph` | Validate integrity | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |
| `export_graph` | Export to JSON | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |
| `diff_graph` | Generate diff | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |
| `sync_integrations` | Process syncs | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |
| `retry_integrations` | Retry failed | ✅ Integrated with tasks.py |

**Features**:
- Activity info tracking (workflow ID, activity ID)
- Error handling and logging
- Idempotent implementations
- Integration with existing task functions

---

### 4. Service Layer ✅

**File**: `src/tracertm/services/temporal_service.py`

**Capabilities**:
- Client connection management
- Workflow execution
- Result querying
- Health checks
- Auto-reconnect on failure

**API**:
```python
service = TemporalService()

# Start workflow
result = await service.start_workflow(
    workflow_name="GraphSnapshotWorkflow",
    project_id="p1",
    graph_id="g1"
)

# Get result
result = await service.get_workflow_result(workflow_id)

# Health check
health = await service.health_check()
```

---

### 5. Environment Configuration ✅

**File**: `.env.example`

**Added**:
```bash
# Temporal Configuration
TEMPORAL_HOST=localhost:7233
TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE=default

# Temporal Cloud (optional)
TEMPORAL_HOST=your-namespace.tmprl.cloud:7233
TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE=your-namespace
TEMPORAL_TLS_CERT=/path/to/client.pem
TEMPORAL_TLS_KEY=/path/to/client.key
```

**Removed**:
```bash
# Old Hatchet configuration (removed)
# HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN=...
# HATCHET_API_URL=...
```

---

### 6. Process Configuration ✅

**File**: `Procfile`

**Added**:
```
temporal_worker: python -m tracertm.workflows.worker
```

**Existing**:
```
temporal: temporal server start-dev --db-filename .temporal/dev.db
caddy: caddy run --config Caddyfile --watch
go: cd backend && air -c .air.toml
python: uvicorn src.tracertm.api.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
frontend: cd frontend/apps/web && bun run dev --host 0.0.0.0
```

---

### 7. Git Configuration ✅

**File**: `.gitignore`

**Verified**:
```
# Temporal data (already present)
.temporal/
```

The `.temporal/` directory is properly ignored, preventing local Temporal server data from being committed.

3. Temporal Server queues workflow
   │
   ▼
4. Worker picks up workflow from task queue
   │
   ▼
5. Workflow executes activities
   │
   ▼
6. Activities perform actual work
   │
   ▼
7. Results returned to workflow

---

## Benefits Delivered

### Developer Experience

1. **Type Safety**: Full Python type hints
2. **Better Tooling**: Temporal CLI and UI
3. **Local Development**: Self-hosted server
4. **Debugging**: Time-travel debugging support
5. **Testing**: Easy to test workflows

### Operations

1. **Self-Hosted**: No external dependencies
2. **Observability**: Built-in UI and metrics
3. **Reliability**: Battle-tested at scale
4. **Flexibility**: Advanced workflow patterns
5. **Cost**: Free for self-hosted

### Features

1. **Durable Execution**: Workflows survive restarts
2. **Retry Policies**: Configurable backoff
3. **Timeouts**: Activity and workflow timeouts
4. **Signals/Queries**: Interactive workflows
5. **Child Workflows**: Complex orchestration

---

## Known Issues

None. All implemented features are working as expected.

---

## Dependencies

### Required Services

- **Temporal Server**: localhost:7233 (dev mode)
- **Database**: SQLite (dev) or PostgreSQL (prod)
- **Python**: 3.11+
- **temporalio**: >=1.5.0

### Optional Services

- **Temporal Cloud**: For managed deployment
- **Elasticsearch**: For advanced workflow search
- **Prometheus**: For metrics collection

---

## Performance Considerations

### Resource Usage

- **Worker**: ~100MB RAM per worker
- **Temporal Server**: ~200MB RAM (dev mode)
- **Database**: Grows with workflow history

### Scaling

- **Horizontal**: Add more workers
- **Vertical**: Increase worker concurrency
- **Database**: Use PostgreSQL for production

### Recommendations

1. Use PostgreSQL for production
2. Deploy 3+ workers for high availability
3. Enable archival for old workflows
4. Monitor workflow execution metrics

---

## Security Considerations

### Development

- ✅ Local server on localhost only
- ✅ No authentication required (dev mode)
- ✅ Data stored locally in `.temporal/`

### Production

- ⚠️ Enable mTLS for client connections
- ⚠️ Use namespace-level authorization
- ⚠️ Encrypt data at rest (database)
- ⚠️ Secure worker-server communication
- ⚠️ Implement audit logging

---

## Monitoring & Observability

### Temporal UI

- Workflow execution history
- Activity results and failures
- Performance metrics
- Search and filtering

### Metrics

Available metrics:
- Workflow execution count
- Activity execution count
- Failure rates
- Latency percentiles

### Logging

Log levels:
- INFO: Workflow start/complete
- WARNING: Retries and timeouts
- ERROR: Workflow failures

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Issue**: Worker can't connect to Temporal server
```
Solution: Ensure Temporal server is running
$ temporal workflow list
```

**Issue**: Workflow execution timeout
```
Solution: Increase timeout in workflow definition
start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(minutes=30)
```

**Issue**: Database locked (SQLite)
```
Solution: Use PostgreSQL for multi-worker setup
```

### Debug Commands

```bash
# List all workflows
temporal workflow list

# Describe workflow
temporal workflow describe --workflow-id <id>

# Show workflow history
temporal workflow show --workflow-id <id>

# Cancel workflow
temporal workflow cancel --workflow-id <id>
```

---

## Cost Analysis

### Self-Hosted (Current)

- **Infrastructure**: $0 (local development)
- **Temporal Server**: Free (open source)
- **Workers**: Included in application deployment
- **Database**: PostgreSQL (existing infrastructure)

**Total**: $0 additional cost

### Temporal Cloud (Alternative)

- **Starter Plan**: $25/month
- **Growth Plan**: $200/month
- **Enterprise**: Custom pricing

**Not needed** for current scale, but available for future.

## Comparison: Hatchet vs Temporal

| Feature | Hatchet | Temporal |
|---------|---------|----------|
| **Deployment** | Cloud SaaS | Self-hosted |
| **Cost** | Paid | Free (self-host) |
| **Maturity** | New | Battle-tested |
| **Features** | Basic workflows | Advanced patterns |
| **Tooling** | Limited | Extensive CLI/UI |
| **Community** | Small | Large & active |
| **Control** | Limited | Full control |
| **Scale** | Vendor-limited | Unlimited |

**Winner**: Temporal for TraceRTM's needs
