Case Study: Checkr simplifies background check workflows with Temporal

How Temporal Simplified Checkr Workflows

Checkr, a high-tech company that automates identity and background verification for employers, needed a better way to manage its multi-stage validation workflows. Its homegrown system, built on standalone databases and Kafka queues, required a complex state machine, was hard to update, and made it difficult to scale reliable processing across many parallel checks.

Temporal Technologies provided Temporal Cloud, which Checkr used to migrate workflow components incrementally from the old Kafka-based approach to code-based workflows and activities. The result was simpler product modeling, better developer productivity and satisfaction, improved observability and testing, and easier code reuse across teams. Checkr now builds all new data sources for background checks with Temporal Technologies, by choice of the engineering team.
