In this November issue, catch up on our recently shipped features, plus real-world fixes from the field, a Builder Spotlight straight from the Code Exchange, fresh AI how-tos, and where to meet us live. This includes Replay ’26, where the Black Friday code THANKS75 is available through December 1.
For more information and other things we’ve been working on, just keep reading! And as always, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to share feedback in our Community Slack.
Recently shipped#
-
Cloud User Groups for Temporal Cloud are now Generally Available! Instead of assigning roles to individual users, you can grant permissions at the group level, eliminating the manual requirement of setting permissions on a user by user basis.
-
SCIM user management for Temporal Cloud is now Generally Available! Automate user management by integrating with your identity provider so users automatically get the access they need and your Temporal Cloud account stays secure.
-
Environment Configuration is now in Public Preview. Environment Config is a utility to better manage environment information and use it in code to establish a connection to Temporal (e.g., endpoint address, Namespace, API Keys).
-
Workflow History Export is now Generally Available. This allows you to export closed Workflow Histories from Temporal Cloud to cloud object storage (AWS S3 or GCP GCS).
-
Temporal Cloud’s OpenMetrics endpoint is now in Public Preview! It provides operational metrics for your Temporal Cloud workloads in industry-standard Prometheus format, enabling comprehensive monitoring across Namespaces, Workflows, and Task Queues with your existing observability stack.
Builder spotlight#
This month, we’re highlighting the latest creation from Dr. Mohamed Amri. Previously, Dr. Amri worked on a Multi-Context Protocol (MCP) + Temporal Durable Agents project. Now, he has expanded on this with Durable Stateful Agents with Mistral + Temporal + MCP.
“Long-running LLM agent workflows can be subjected to failures, network issues, and third-party API exceptions. In many situations, manual intervention is needed to identify issues and debug them. For production systems, this can be prohibitively expensive. This is the main reason many companies rely on Temporal for orchestrating agents in production.” - Dr. Amri
The Temporal UI shows the Workflow’s Event History, including the start_conversation_activity that failed once (Attempt 2) before succeeding. This demonstrates how Temporal’s Durable Execution handles transient failures without developer intervention.
How to Temporal#
This new two-part tutorial series will walk you through building understanding how to create durable AI applications with Temporal.
- Part 1: Transform a simple LLM app into a resilient system that handles crashes, rate limits, and outages using Temporal Workflows.
- Part 2: Add durable human-in-the-loop capabilities to your research application to review, refine, and query research results interactively.
Questions from the field#
-
Victor asked whether the Worker fleet should be deployed as a separate application or if it’s acceptable for them to share resources with other parts of the application. Tihomir explained the factors to consider, including overall performance and flexibility regarding resource allocation, as well as specific advice for applications that use the Eager Workflow Start feature.
-
Sebastian asked for advice about his mental model for the role of Workflows and Activities, based on his prior experience with Apache Airflow, Luigi, and Flyte. Tom confirmed that his comparisons to other orchestration tools were correct and then walked through the specifics, using an order processing scenario as an example. Maxim added that Temporal, in contrast to systems based on a DAG model, supports dynamic logic. He then pointed out that this capability is what makes Temporal a good fit for working with LLMs.
