Temporal Cloud#

We have several features that are available as a part of a pre-GA preview and are listed below. Please reach out to Temporal if you would like to try out any of this functionality.

Global Namespace is available as a private preview for users who would like to increase availability of Temporal to 4 9s through multi-region Namespace replication. For users who purchased Temporal Cloud Credits, we have a private preview available, so you can manage credit burn down in the Temporal Cloud UI. Workflow History Export is available for users who would like to receive automated exports of closed Workflow Histories in a private preview. For users looking to automate Temporal Cloud operations, like user invites or Namespace permissions, the Cloud Operations API is in a private preview and public GitHub repo.

Several small enhancements have also been made to the Temporal Cloud CLI to afford users the ability to specify a Codec Server endpoint during Namespace creation and see accurate Regions using tcld account list-regions with user permissions applied.

SDK Updates#

The Go SDK release v1.25.0 provides a built in integration with the standard slog package. The latest Temporal CLI release has updates to recent Temporal Server and UI versions, including the experimental Timeline view shown during Replay—turn on Labs to try it out!

Upcoming changes to Temporal Cloud metering: See the new features and updates to Temporal Cloud's metering that will take affect on November 1st.
