Case Study: Vinted achieves 10–12 million workflows a day with Temporal

How Vinted Runs 10 to 12 Million Workflows a Day with Temporal While Keeping Dev Velocity High and Costs Low

Vinted, Europe’s leading online marketplace for second-hand items, needed a more reliable way to manage complex, asynchronous payment flows across its Ruby/Sidekiq stack. As its business grew, scattered background jobs, custom state machines, and cleanup logic created subtle failures that could impact members and drive customer support issues. The company turned to Temporal Technologies and Temporal Cloud/OSS to simplify and harden these workflows.

Temporal Technologies helped Vinted rewrite key payment processes as readable, top-to-bottom Temporal Workflows, starting with a low-risk background refund and invalidation flow. The result was major scale and reliability: Vinted now runs 10 to 12 million Workflows and Activities per day in payments alone, with cleaner code, better visibility, lower infrastructure costs through self-hosting, and higher reliability from built-in retries and consistent execution.
