Case Study: Turo achieves greater scalability and developer velocity with Temporal

Turo Enhances Scalability and Developer Velocity with Temporal

Turo, the peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, was struggling with a large monolithic Java application that had grown to millions of lines of code over 12 years. This created technical debt, made maintenance difficult, slowed feature delivery, and limited scalability as the company and its engineering needs expanded. Turo used Temporal Cloud from Temporal Technologies to help modernize its architecture.

By adopting Temporal Technologies, Turo began decomposing its monolith into microservices using workflows written in Java, while also improving error handling and resilience for critical processes like reservations and payment processing. The result was greater developer velocity, easier maintainability, and more reliable workflows that can recover from failures, helping Turo ship new services faster and scale more effectively.
