New Cloud Updates
The default Actions Per Second (APS) limit for all Namespaces has now been raised to 400, up from the earlier 200. Users can track their APS limit directly through the Cloud UI, which also issues alerts if a Namespace experiences throttling within the past 5 minutes. This adjustment simplifies the process for customers migrating their workloads to Temporal Cloud, significantly reducing concerns over throttling.
Notable New Technology Features
Temporal Schedules are a replacement for traditional Cron jobs for task scheduling which allows a durable way to execute tasks, gain insight into their progress, enable observability of schedules and workflow runs, and let you start, stop, and pause them. In this demo video, we show Temporal Schedules in action.
- Learn how to convert Cron jobs to Schedules through clear examples in this blog post.
SDK Updates
The .NET SDK is a full-featured SDK, that provides high performance, good resource utilization, and high-quality type-safe APIs. Check out the GitHub Repo and also see how workflows are written with Temporal’s new .NET SDK in our on-demand webinar.
On Demand Webinar: Hear from ANZ Lead Architect Homeloans Chris Gavin on how the company has used Temporal to automate several key financial services, and their lessons learned.
