TALK
Supercharging Cloud Orchestration using Temporal Open Source
ABSTRACT
This presentation details Capital One’s journey to modernize its cloud provisioning platform, transitioning from static infrastructure and complex choreographed deployments to a unified Durable Execution model using Temporal Open Source. The shift was driven by the need to overcome challenges like troublesome state management, heavy SDLC burden and complex decentralized failure handling. The new platform ensured improved resiliency, fault-tolerance, and massive gains in cross-team observability. The implementation is guided by principles like “Code First, Not Config” and “Reliable Rollbacks”. Key takeaways include architectural and deployment lessons along with best practices for running on Temporal Open Source.
