We want to create a multi-tenant application, where for each tenant we want to create a namespace when the tenant is onboarded to the application. Is it feasible to create a namespace dynamically, and use it? If it is does it require worker restart. Is it recommended in production?

You can create a new namespace via tctl, or programmatically, see this post for examples. Once the namespace is created you can set up you workers that listen to task queues on that new namespace. You should not have to restart your current workers if that is the question. Namespace is unit of iso…

Tihomir, How can we prevent resource starvation when running multiple applications on a single server across namespaces? Say, Application 1 in namespace 1 is doing heavy processing and impacting other applications in other namespaces. How can this be prevented? Or are we saying, auto-scaling sho…

Hi @tihomir How can we register multiple namespaces in one go. Let’s say I need 3 namespace , how the workers would be started ? Will it need 3 ServiceStub?

I think you would have to run tctl command for each of the namespaces you want to create tctl --ns mynamespace1 n re tctl --ns mynamespace2 n re tctl --ns mynamespace3 n re or use the RegisterNamespaceRequest as shown here for each namespace. Will it need 3 ServiceStub? Let me know if this is …

Yes @tihomir that’s the same question. Thanks for your prompt response.

What is the max number of namespaces that can be created, I know we might not reach the limit, but wanted to know for testing purposes.

Temporal server does not enforce a max number of namespaces. Total number however will depend on the capacity of your cluster. You would need to test to reach this max on your env to know what it might be.

@tihomir i understand that some sizing is needed but i am trying to understand if temporal is suited to work with hundreds of namespaces or is that a bad practice.
