Keynote: Attitude of Iteration: Counting your challenges on one finger
Eric Johnson
AWS
Challenges are a very real part of daily life. Some challenges are very apparent, like having one finger on each hand. Other challenges are less apparent, but no less of a hurdle that must be jumped. As someone who was born different and has been challenged through life, I have a very interesting view on hitting challenges head on. I also like to laugh as I deal with these challenges. In this session we will joke our way through having an attitude of iteration in how we deal with challenges in our personal lives AND in our work lives. Prepare to laugh, commiserate, and face your challenges!
09:40 - 10:10
Exploring Durable Execution on Serverless Platforms
Chris Gillum
Microsoft
Businesses are looking to build apps on Serverless cloud platforms to get the benefits of elastic scale, micro billing, and scale-to-zero. However, even with Temporal Cloud, it's not yet possible for durable apps to be 100% serverless. Or is it? This talk explores how this could be achieved. We'll start by looking at the architecture of Azure Durable Functions, which shares the same lineage as Temporal. In particular, we'll explore how the extensibility of the Azure Functions runtime was exploited to enable durable execution and elastic scale on top of ephemeral compute with scale-to-zero support. We'll then show a prototype of running Temporal workflows on Azure's serverless compute platforms in conjunction with Temporal Cloud and walk through how this was accomplished. After this talk, attendees should have a better understanding of whether or how they can build Temporal Cloud apps today on Serverless platforms, and how it might be achieved to an even greater degree tomorrow.
10:10 - 10:40
What's Cloud got to do with it? A novel persistence layer for Temporal Cloud
Paul Nordstrom
Temporal
Temporal Server was designed to accommodate a commodity storage layer and most use Postgres or Cassandra in their deployment. As we built out Temporal Cloud, we realized that if we wanted to provide a scale out, multi-tenant offering, we were going to need to build our own persistence layer. Through this process, we have gained significant knowledge and developed a persistence layer that enables Temporal Cloud to achieve exceptional scale In this talk, we will walk through the architecture of the storage layer and show how we were able to do this through use of the open storage layer API.
10:55 - 11:35
Temporal + MongoDB: Delivering Resilient, and Flexible applications with velocity
Jay Runkel
MongoDB
Legacy modernization (rearchitecting monolithic applications into microservice architectures) has the potential to result in applications that can be quickly extended with new capabilities and that are more cost effective to operate. These potential benefits are often difficult to realize due to the brittleness of RDBMS with respect to change and due to complexity of coordinating microservices to implement business processes. This presentation will show how to obtain the benefits of legacy modernization by leveraging the combination of MongoDB plus Temporal to deploy microservice architectures using both a flexible data platform (MongoDB) and robust workflow platform (Temporal).
11:35 - 12:15
Temporal at Instacart: How Workflows are empowering our platforms
Anant Agarwal
Instacart
Instacart has been using Temporal for over two years and has built various use cases across our polyglot stack of services written in Golang, Ruby, and Python. In this talk, I will cover how Instacart started with Temporal, the use cases and platforms we have built on top of it, and some key takeaways from our experience over the years. I will cover how we have helped developers use Temporal in a variety of ways from CI tooling, service provisioning, payments, data quality, etc., and will also focus on the kind of platform features, support, and tooling we have around Temporal internally that have made it easier to adopt across different teams at Instacart. At Instacart, we run a self-managed Temporal cluster and I will also cover key lessons/takeaways as we scaled to 10M workflows/day to help the community be better prepared to run and adopt Temporal. Running and thinking in terms of Temporal workflows has helped Instacart developers write more increase reliability and developer productivity in many ways.
13:15 - 13:55
Actor Workflows: Reliably orchestrating thousands of Flink clusters at Netflix
Jorge Rodriguez and Mark Cho
Netflix
At Netflix, we operate over 12000 Apache Flink clusters, processing over 60 PB of data per day. Reliably managing these clusters pose various challenges such as fault tolerance, concurrency control, and consistency between actual and desired infrastructure state. In this talk, we'll present how we leveraged Temporal to build a reliable and scalable control plane for the Flink platform at Netflix. We've designed our solution using the actor model implemented via long-running Temporal workflows. We'll discuss the benefits and the challenges that we've encountered while building our architecture.
13:55 - 14:35
Automating and scaling customer support with Temporal
Pavel Sidlo
Grab
Grab is a Tech Company in South East Asia building a super app for everyday use. Apart from ride-hailing, we offer food delivery services, financial services, and more. Our story begins with the problem of how we provide world-class support experience in a constantly growing ecosystem that provides so many services for many different countries. The talk is going to focus on how Temporal enabled us to provide customer support at this scale, how we have been able to build a large number of workflows, and how we made sure that we can react to changes in the ecosystem in a timely manner.
14:35 - 15:15
Reasonably Reliable. The Inherent Costs of Building Resilient Applications
Matt Fornaciari
Temporal
Rate limiting, request tracing, and circuit-breakers are powerful development patterns for reliable software. Resiliency is critical these days and there are a wide range of mechanisms you can employ to build more reliable applications. The million-dollar question is which is right for you and your company. The answer is not simple as system architectures are unique and increasingly complex. In this talk, Forni will enumerate his experiences building reliable systems at scale as an engineer at Amazon and Salesforce, and helping some of the most technologically advanced Fortune 500 companies craft their own roadmap to reliability as the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Gremlin, the world's first reliability company. Join him for a frank discussion of the costs, tradeoffs, and exciting new technologies that transform the concept of reliability from a pipe dream to a pragmatic reality.
15:35 - 16:15
Panel: Running Temporal as an Internal Service
Rob Zienert and Jacob LeGrone
As usage of Temporal increases within an organization, some consider running it as an internal service. For many, this is left to a "platform team" where a deeper knowledge of Temporal can be accumulated so that they can optimize and ensure its reliability. Datadog and Netflix are two companies that have done this and on this panel we will talk through the challenges involved and the benefits of taking this approach. During this session, we'll hit on topics such as scale, multi-tenancy, availability and abstractions.
16:15 - 16:55
Building Scalable, Reliable Bank Payments on Temporal
Vikranth Reddy Etikyala
SoFi
The talk will illustrate how Temporal can be employed to construct fault-tolerant, highly scalable, resilient systems for online/offline Payments and Reconciliation. We will explore how Temporal helps maintain state across multiple processes, and services, so that you can deploy resilient workflows and eliminate the need for microservices.
16:55 - 17:35
Re-building Async processing at Rippling using Temporal
Malay Kurwa and Maksim Bezsaznyj
Rippling
At Rippling, we have built a HR Product loved by people building and running their companies, and people love Rippling for ease of defining their tasks and forgetting, and our tools do their jobs. When Rippling was built, we chose simple technologies, to prove the product, quickly iterate over changes and new features. As we scale our product to handle the same use cases, we run into a few of the challenges such as automation for our jobs. We have an inhouse jobs execution environment called ETA (Estimate Time of Arrival), which gets most of our work done through a tight integration with Django via custom implementation hooks. At our current scale, we see wear and tear - owing to maintenance challenges, like missed executions, non-stateful retries, observability. We find Temporal to be a right fit here on our use-cases. As one test of Temporal, we have onboarded Filling Factory and have gained a few insights. As Rippling scales, we are moving towards an asynchronous processing paradigm, and Temporal will play a crucial partner in our success.
