couler vs temporal

couler: Couler is a system for unified machine learning workflow optimization in the cloud, offering a consistent interface across various workflow engines like Argo Workflows, Tekton Pipelines, and Apache Airflow. It enhances efficiency through features such as autonomous construction, artifact caching, and auto-parallelism optimization, though it primarily supports Argo Workflows currently.; temporal: Temporal is a durable execution platform for building scalable and reliable applications. It provides a server that executes application logic as Workflows, automatically handling failures and retries to ensure resilience.
