Archival
Archival is a feature that automatically backs up Event Histories and Visibility records from Temporal Service persistence to a custom blob store.

Automated migration is designed to provide a zero-downtime, secure means of migrating to Temporal Cloud. This guide outlines the current process for transitioning workflows from a self-hosted setup to one hosted within Temporal Cloud.
Encrypt data in Temporal Server to secure Workflow, Activity, and Worker information. Use custom Payload Codecs for encryption/decryption, set up Codec Servers for remote decoding, and ensure secure access.
Enable Worker Versioning on your Workers with UseVersioning, Deployment Version, and default Versioning Behavior.
Configure Temporal Proxy routing, upstreams, TLS, authentication, and payload encryption.
Deploy the Temporal Proxy with the Helm chart, including configuration, secrets, TLS, and KMS access.
Deploy a Temporal Service using Docker, Kubernetes, or from scratch. Requires a database such as Apache Cassandra, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Customize setup for your infrastructure and tooling.
Run Temporal server as an embedded Go library for testing and development. Learn how to use temporal.NewServer() to run Temporal server in-process.
Configure Temporal Proxy payload encryption with envelope encryption and cloud or custom KMS backends.
Estimate Temporal Cloud Actions and Actions per second from a self-hosted Temporal Service before migrating to Temporal Cloud.
How to integrate Elasticsearch or OpenSearch into a self-hosted Temporal Service for Visibility.
Configure legacy standard Visibility for older Temporal Server versions.
How to manage custom Search Attributes in a self-hosted Visibility store.
Migrating to Temporal Cloud from self-hosted Temporal Service varies by Workflow requirements. This guide covers changing Client code, Workflow migration strategies, and necessary code adjustments.
How to migrate a Visibility database for a self-hosted Temporal Service.
Implement Worker Versioning without the Temporal Worker Controller by deploying backward-compatible versioned Workers alongside existing ones and gradually shifting traffic before full migration.
Monitor and health check a self-hosted Temporal Platform using Prometheus, StatsD, and M3 to track Temporal Service, Client, and Worker metrics for performance and issue troubleshooting.
Multi-Cluster Replication is a feature which asynchronously replicates Workflow Executions from active Clusters to other passive Clusters, for backup and state reconstruction.
The Temporal Persistence store is a database used by the Temporal Server to persist events generated and processed in your Temporal Service and SDK.
Roll back, identify, and recover pinned Workflows affected by a faulty Worker Deployment Version using Versioning Override and Reset-with-Move.
Roll out Worker Deployment Versions with the CLI, mark Workflow Types as Pinned, move pinned Workflows, and migrate to Auto-Upgrade.
Configure Archival to store closed Workflow Event Histories and Visibility records in blob storage.
Multi-Cluster Replication in Temporal ensures asynchronous replication of Workflow Executions from active to passive Clusters for backup and state reconstruction, enabling seamless failovers.
Explore the Temporal Platform defaults, limits, and configurations, including Workflow Execution, Activity, Worker, and Payload size constraints. Learn about error and warning thresholds.
Discover how to self-host the open-source Temporal Service to orchestrate durable applications, or consider using Temporal Cloud for ease of use. Start with our tutorials and dev guide.
A Visibility store is essential for your Temporal Service, supporting features like batch operations and Search Attribute-based filtering for Workflow Executions. For current self-hosted deployments, use advanced Visibility on PostgreSQL 12+, MySQL 8.0.17+, SQLite 3.31.0+, Elasticsearch, or OpenSearch.
Easily interact with the Temporal Server via Client SDKs or CLI, or use the gRPC API for Workflow operations. Access code examples and API docs at api-docs.temporal.io.

How to set up a MySQL Visibility store for a self-hosted Temporal Service.
How to set up a PostgreSQL Visibility store for a self-hosted Temporal Service.
How to set up a SQLite Visibility store for a self-hosted Temporal Service.
Drain and sunset old Worker Deployment Versions, then garbage-collect unused versions.
Elevate your durable application to production with ease by deploying your code on your infrastructure, using Temporal Cloud for a fully-managed service or self-hosting it.
Discover comprehensive security features of the Temporal Platform, including secure network communication with TLS and mTLS, robust authentication, customizable authorization, and single sign-on integration to protect your data and operations.
Prepare a self-hosted Temporal Service for production with guidance on scaling, metrics, load testing, and Workflow versioning.
Route requests between Temporal SDK clients and Workers and one or more upstream Temporal Services with the Temporal Proxy, a gRPC proxy that handles namespace translation, TLS, authentication, and payload encryption.
The Temporal Server consists of four independently scalable services - Frontend gateway, History subsystem, Matching subsystem, and Worker Service.
This page provides a comprehensive technical overview of a Temporal Service, detailing its components and subsystems, including the Temporal Server, Frontend Service, History Service, Matching Service, and Worker Service.
Temporal Service configuration is the setup and configuration details of your self-hosted Temporal Service, defined using YAML.
Use Temporal's provided Kubernetes controller to programmatically scale your Worker deployments.
Programmatically scale and deploy your Temporal Workers into common production environments using our provided tooling and best practices.
Transform your Temporal apps into production-ready systems by deploying Workflows, Activities, and Workers with either our managed Temporal Cloud or self-hosted service solutions.
Upgrade pinned Workflows to a new Worker Deployment Version by Continue-as-New when a Target Version becomes available.
Upgrade your Temporal Server effectively. Follow our step-by-step guide for seamless upgrades, ensuring data compatibility and schema alignment.
The term Visibility, within the Temporal Platform, refers to the subsystems and APIs that enable an operator to view, filter, and search for Workflow Executions that currently exist within a Temporal Service.
Use Worker Versioning to pin Workflow revisions to individual Worker Deployment Versions, avoiding the need for patching to support multiple code paths.
