Netflix uses Temporal to orchestrate cloud operations for Spinnaker, a multi-cloud continuous delivery platform, which includes dozens of cloud operations written for various cloud providers. Netflix also uses Temporal to orchestrate myriad other infrastructure control planes across the business including real-time data infrastructure, online datastores, and CDNs.

Netflix aims to allow each team to own their own namespace and call in each other to build abstractions on top of each other’s workflows. When a durable execution spans teams, you often want to delegate a portion of the overall workflow to another team with workflows running in a different namespace, but want a clean service contract that doesn’t share too much.

Previously, this required building custom API proxies and webhooks to facilitate cross-namespace collaboration. Teams had to handle complex tasks like setting up authentication and authorization (AuthZ), ensuring security, and managing cross-namespace failover scenarios. This was a lot of undifferentiated heavy lifting that could be simplified.

In this session you will learn about the future of a fully integrated Temporal experience. Discover how new enhancements will simplify durable execution across team and namespace boundaries, making collaboration easier and more efficient.
