  Terraform module to stand up Temporal.io Server on Nomad

Depends on how many cron jobs you have and what you need out of it?

Operating Temporal is not that hard -- you can start with `temporal --dev` on your own box. I have a "Nomad-Temporal" Terraform Module to stand one up on Nomad. [1] Temporal has Helm Charts for Kubernetes. There is also Temporal Cloud.

That said, there is currently a chasm between "script in cronjob" to "scheduled task in Temporal". The focus of Temporal is more "Enterprise, get your Business Processes on Temporal", not "soloist, ditch your cron".

There's certainly space for somebody to a make DAG dataflow thing or lower-code product over Temporal. Airplane.dev [2] was built on Temporal and was approaching this; acquired by AirTable.
