i wrote a longer intro to the problem domain of Cadence/Temporal here in case it helps: https://www.swyx.io/why-temporal

and you can browse the Temporal youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@Temporalio) for anywhere from 2min - 2hour explainers of what Temporal does, what you use it for, how it works.

(disclaimer - former employee. still a big fan of the entire category - every company needs a workflow engine for anything long running (usually the most valuable/hard-to-test async stuff), and your choices are between build a bad one yourself or take the most industry battle tested one - uber, airbnb, coinbase, netflix, stripe, etc - off the shelf and get tooling/docs/ecosystem/maintenance for free)
