This technical article details the first part of a two-part series on building a scalable document ingestion pipeline using Temporal, focusing on architectural design decisions. The pipeline handles large-scale document processing from various sources like Confluence and SharePoint, involving crawling, extraction, chunking, embedding, and storage. The authors discuss challenges with large datasets, their solution using Temporal's workflow orchestration, and implementation patterns like sliding windows and batch processing.
Background
Temporal is an open-source workflow orchestration platform that helps developers build and operate resilient applications. It's particularly useful for managing long-running business processes and distributed systems.
