Synchronous Proxy Sample

This sample demonstrates how to achieve synchronous interaction with a main workflow.

We call this pattern a proxy workflow. The proxy workflow sends a signal to the main workflow and then blocks waiting for a signal in response.

This mimics a synchronous SendAndReceiveSignal feature which Temporal does not currently provide natively.

The flow of calls is outlined in the diagram below.

Steps to run this sample:

1. Run a Temporal service.
2. Run the following command to start the worker

go run synchronous-proxy/worker/main.go

3. Run the following command to start the simple UI

go run synchronous-proxy/ui/main.go

Once the UI has exited you will be able to see delivery details in the worker output, as might have been emailed to you in a real implementation.
