We are introducing the Eager Workflow Start (EWS) — an experimental latency optimization feature currently in pre-release. What is it:The Eager Workflow Start reduces the latency for starting workflows by directly scheduling the first workflow task to a local worker. Read more about what performance improvement you can expect in our blog post. The target use case is short-lived workflows that interact with other services using local activities, ideally initiating this interaction in the first workflow task, and deployed close to the Temporal Server. These workflows have a happy path that needs to initiate interactions within low tens of milliseconds, but they also want to take advantage of server-driven retries, and reliable compensation processes, for those less happy days. Get Involved:To enable EWS in your namespace in Temporal Cloud, please open a ticket. If you have any questions on how it can benefit your specific use cases, please reach out to us under this post.
