It's important to remember that the example code used in this course was designed to support learning a specific aspect of Temporal, not to serve as a ready-to-use template for implementing a production system.

For the exercises, make sure to run temporal server start-dev --ui-port 8080 --db-filename clusterdata.db in one terminal to start the Temporal server. For more details on this command, please refer to the Setting up a Local Development Environment chapter in the course. Note: If you're using the Gitpod environment to run this exercise, you can skip this step.

If you are executing the exercises in the provided GitPod environment, you can take advantage of certain aliases to aid in navigation.
