TALK
AI and Nexus
ABSTRACT
This is a full day workshop where you will learn to connect Durable Executions across team, namespace, and even cloud boundaries in this workshop covering one of Temporal’s newest features, Nexus. Give your team clean service contracts, secure access to execution, integrated observability, and the full resilience of Temporal without the boilerplate.
In the afternoon you’ll build production-ready AI agents that seamlessly engage humans and can run for extended periods. We will explore both the use of Agent SDKs (i.e. OpenAI, Pydantic, etc.) and native Temporal implementations.
