Replay Seattle 2024

Today, iterating on workflow implementations requires careful, backwards-compatible patching that, if done incorrectly, can result in stuck workflows and challenging remediations. Together, Temporal and Datadog are working to improve this process.

Temporal is developing APIs that allow teams to manage their deploys of Temporal Workers. With these APIs, short-running workflows will be guaranteed to run to completion on a single version of code with no patching, and developers will have better and safer tools to migrate even long-running workflows to new versions.

As a design partner, Datadog has been building an open-source Kubernetes controller based on these APIs. This controller will manage the rollouts of worker deployments and automatically reconcile running workflows with existing worker versions.
In this session, you will learn about the future of safely managing worker rollouts, see a demo of the worker Kubernetes controller, and join a community of developers creating new best practices for deploying stateful applications.
