Migrate between regions

Temporal Cloud's High Availability features allow you to migrate a namespace from one region or cloud provider to another with zero downtime.

Using High Availability features affects pricing.

  1. Add a namespace replica in the region you want to migrate to. See regions for a list of available regions and supported multi-region and multi-cloud configurations.

  1. Wait for the replica to become active. The Cloud UI will display a time estimate, and namespace admins will receive an email when the replica is active.
  2. If your workers are using API key authentication: ensure your workers (and all other client code) are updated to use the regional endpoint of the new replica.
  3. Trigger a failover to the new region.

If using API keys for worker authentication, you must open a support ticket to remove the replica.
