Recently shipped#
It was a busy month! Check out what’s been going on:
- Temporal OSS v1.30 has been released! In addition to updates with Worker Versioning and Task Queue Priority and Fairness, this release includes breaking changes related to Docker images and Helm charts.
- Provisioned Capacity is in public preview for Temporal Cloud. Control the limits on your Namespaces based on your specific needs, and prepare ahead of time for spiky or unpredictable traffic.
- Temporal's new Rust SDK is now in pre-release. We know many have been waiting for this moment, so thank you for your patience and keep an eye out for further development updates.
- Environment Config is now generally available. This utility allows users to better manage environment information and use it in code to establish a connection to Temporal.
- Unified Single Email Login is now generally available. Temporal Cloud now automatically detects your authentication method when you log in. Just enter your email address - no need to choose between login options or remember which method your account uses.
Builder spotlight#
It’s all about loyalty - customer loyalty, that is. Community member Alexandre Roman created a fun demo that showcases how Temporal is a great fit for implementing long-running business processes. With point tiers and point accumulation/redemption processes, this customer loyalty program demo is a great way to learn more about core Temporal principles.

How to Temporal#
Building Deep Research Agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK is the latest addition to our AI tutorial series. The application uses multiple agents that collaborate to produce a research report for you. But what happens when things go wrong? Follow this tutorial and you’ll find out! You’ll see it overcome failed LLM calls, wait indefinitely for human interaction, and automatically recover from a crash without losing state.

Questions from the field#
Steve Frazee asks in Discourse whether Temporal's Worker Versioning can support blue-green deployments. Carly de Frondeville, a Temporal engineer who helped to implement Worker Versioning, clarified how rollback behaves with Pinned vs AutoUpgrade workflows. She then describes example scenarios and outlines two patterns for blue-green deployments.
Leonardo Martins asks in #newbie-temporal-questions whether signaling a parent Workflow from a long-running Child Workflow is the right pattern for streaming incremental results as they become available. Tihomir Surdilovic points out the similarity to the sliding window pattern and links to two code examples that demonstrate how one could implement it. Maxim Fateev suggests using Nexus if this communication crosses team or service boundaries.
