TALK

Build with Confidence: Announcing Major Worker Improvements

ABSTRACT

Deploying changes to running systems is inherently challenging, especially with long-running, stateful workflows. Versioning workflows, safe rollouts, and production visibility are all areas where teams typically struggle.

In this session, we’ll show how Temporal helps teams deploy Worker code safely through new improvements to Workers. Learn how to roll out updates without disrupting in-flight workflows, handle Worker Versioning with confidence, and gain deeper insight into Worker behavior. We’ll also introduce new serverless capabilities that simplify deployment and operations, with a live demo to bring it all together.
