Welcome to your May 2025 update! This month, we’re bringing you key enhancements across our TypeScript, Python, and PHP SDKs. We’re also excited to officially open registration for Camp Temporal, our unique summer program for developers.
Discover the latest Forrester Total Economic Impact™ report on Temporal Cloud, find out where to connect with us at upcoming global events, and celebrate the fantastic contributions from our community.
SDK Updates#
- TypeScript SDK v1.11.8: Includes updates for the Core SDK and multiple vulnerable dependencies.
- Python SDK v1.11.0: Includes pre-release access to Priority and Worker Versioning, and introduces new Automatic Poller Scaling for Workers.
- PHP v2.14.0: Provides dedicated Workflow loggers, new methods to define dynamic handlers, and adds support for user metadata in the Client API.
Space Camp#
Are you ready for Camp Temporal? It’s the galaxy’s most curious summer program for developers who build, fix, tinker, retry, and repeat.
Sign up today to join a crew of cadets, creators, and cosmic troubleshooters from across the Temporalverse. From June 5 through August 31, meet up with fellow cadets virtually and in-person to share knowledge, forge connections, explore new tools, and build systems more reliable than a quantum space toaster. And if we’re lucky, we might even save the galaxy from a mysterious disturbance!
You’ll earn badges, unlock secrets, help fellow cadets, and maybe—just maybe—rise through the ranks to become a Temporal Creator. We can neither confirm nor deny the rumors of stellar swag.
We’ll be adding lots of activities, events, and meetups throughout the summer, but the best way to stay up-to-date on all that Camp Temporal has to offer is to register today.

Community Shout-Outs#
- In The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter, Gergely Orosz interviewed two engineering leaders deeply involved in the release of ChatGPT Images—Sulman Choudhry (Head of Engineering, ChatGPT) and Srinivas Narayanan (VP of Engineering, OpenAI)—about what’s happening under the hood, including Temporal! 🤩
- While at Stripe Sessions, Steve Androulakisand Tom Wheeler joined Cecil Phillip for a livestream on Integrating Temporal to manage your payment workflows.
- You can find their Stripe Ridesharing Demo in Code Exchange! It showcases Stripe’s usage-based billing with only the most cutting-edge 8-bit graphics. ;)
- In a collaboration between Jason Lengstorf and Alex Garnett, the Build a web-based game in 4 hours Web Dev Challenge gave participants 30 minutes to plan and four hours to build a game that’s played on at least two devices with Temporal.
- Catch their follow-up session on May 29! Build “invincible” apps with Durable Workflows
- The recording from our Community Live session Event-driven Architectures for Full-Stack Devs with Temporal and React is now available. Big shout-out to J.D. Nicholls for leading this, his first time presenting in English! 🥹
- In other event news, members of Temporal’s team including Brandon Moorer, Cornelia Davis, and Mason Egger presided over the MCP and A2A Hackathon—AWS Edition. Over 300 were in attendance, and the winning project by Anup Ghatage (Quantum Branches: Play a new game every time, generated by AI) used Temporal to orchestrate a dynamic Workflow which calls multiple agents in a sequential manner to generate all the elements of the game. I guess you could say… winners choose Temporal. 😎
- Also AI-related, Alex Garnett gave a talk at the Write the Docs conference, about how Temporal is using AI to augment our documentation: Docs AI Tooling is Better (and Better for Us) than You Think
- And hey, speaking of AI: it was a BIG month for AI in our Code Exchange, with tons of AI-oriented examples submitted:
- Temporal MCP Server (by Gonzalo (Glo) Maldonado)—Temporal MCP Server is a bridge connecting AI assistants like Claude with the powerful Temporal Workflow engine. By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it allows AI assistants to discover, execute, and monitor complex Workflow orchestrations—all through natural language conversations.
- Temporal Based Zendesk Add-on for Ticket and Organization Summary (by Tao Guo)—An AI-powered support ticket analysis system that integrates with Zendesk to provide enhanced ticket management capabilities.
