80.8% of Engineers Use AI Agents Daily, Only 49.1% Run Them in Production: Temporal
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-10-29
Temporal developer advocate Shy Ruparel's AI Engineer talk digs into Temporal's State of Development survey and demos durable execution:
- Data: 80.8% of engineers use agents daily, but only 49.1% run them in production.
- Four gaps: usage vs. production, trust vs. reality, prototype vs. enterprise, seeing vs. recovering — agents that break every day still get used because recovery, not reliability, is the missing piece.
- Demo: a $2,500 payout workflow on a local model survives workers being killed mid-flight via Temporal's durable execution — no lost state, no repeated tool calls, no re-spent tokens.
- Thesis: long-running domains like finance need durable-execution infrastructure so agents can resume from checkpoints instead of rerunning.
