Booking.com @ Replay 2026 | Beyond the State Machine: Scaling Order Orchestration

Roman Kuskov (Sr. Software Engineer, Booking.com) tells the story of how Booking.com's Order Orchestration Platform outgrew AWS Step Functions and moved to Temporal. The talk covers the technical evaluation process, the tradeoffs between orchestration engines, and how switching to a code-first model let the team manage dynamic, high-scale order flows without the complexity of their previous architecture.
