Build applications with the Go SDK

Start building your Temporal application by defining the key components: Workflows, Activities, and Workers.

Each of these plays a distinct role:

• A Workflow defines your application's control flow and business logic.
• An Activity performs the actual work—such as calling APIs or accessing databases.
• A Worker runs the code and connects your app to the Temporal Service.

In this section, you:

• Define a Workflow
• Define one or more Activities
• Run a Worker to execute them

Once you have these pieces in place, you can start creating Workflow Executions, pass data, handle errors, and scale up.
