It sounds pretty similar actually. Barbara fills the same role that Temporal is doing at Mercury.

I may be reading between lines, but temporal seems to be a virtual machine like the evm, it handles computation.

Barbara is a company wide database, it handles data storage.

When I read about internal app state being stored in Barbara I'm interpreting that the policy is for the data to be centralized for more vertical control.

While the Temporal thing sounds like if something is written, it's done so in a containerized like manner, and other processes can't just read it.
