Case Study: Coinbase achieves reliable, scalable crypto transactions with Temporal Technologies

Coinbase - Customer Case Study

Coinbase, the cryptocurrency platform, needed a more flexible way to run the millions of transactions it processes every day. Its homegrown engine handled SAGA-based transaction rollbacks reliably, but it became difficult to extend into new use cases and required significant developer plumbing to support each new workflow.

Temporal Technologies provided Temporal as the replacement, allowing Coinbase to model SAGA workflows in code instead of prebuilt DAGs and migrate incrementally with blue/green deployments and feature flags. The new system preserved reliability while improving visibility into running processes, boosting developer velocity, and unlocking new use cases across Coinbase.
