Welcome to your April Temporal update! We’re rolling out major observability boosts with new Datadog and New Relic integrations, simplifying scaling with the KEDA worker scaler, and giving you finer control with Task Queue Priority. Explore the latest SDK releases (Ruby hits Public Preview!), catch us at Stripe Sessions, and join our AI agent webinars. See what’s new!
Product Updates
-
The latest version of KEDA (Kubernetes-Based Event-Driven Autoscaling) now contains a Temporal Worker scaler! This solution empowers you to dynamically scale the number of Temporal workers based on the size of the Task Queue backlog, enabling efficient resource utilization in Kubernetes environments.
-
Task Queue Priority (launching in Pre-Release) gives you control over the execution order of workflows, activities, and child workflows using priority levels from 1 to 5.
Announcements
New Observability Integrations for Temporal Cloud: Datadog and New Relic
We’re excited to announce two major new integrations! Temporal Cloud now integrates with both Datadog and New Relic, making it easier than ever to monitor your workflows alongside the rest of your infrastructure.
- Temporal Cloud + Datadog: Send key metrics and Workflow visibility data directly to Datadog for centralized monitoring, alerting, and analysis.
- Temporal Cloud + New Relic: Gain powerful insights into your Workflows by integrating Temporal’s observability data into New Relic’s dashboards and alerts.
These integrations give you deeper visibility into your applications, helping you build and scale with even greater confidence.
