Introduction to Temporal Cloud

In this introduction to Temporal Cloud you'll find the following information:

Temporal Cloud serves as a software as a service (SaaS) infrastructure platform, specifically designed to manage the durability of your Temporal Applications.

Temporal Cloud offers developers a hassle-free way to leverage the power of Temporal without the operational overhead. Here's what you get:

  • Scalability: Start small and grow seamlessly. Handles anything from modest workloads to 100B+ actions/month.
  • Reliability: 99.99% uptime guarantee, with automatic updates and maintenance.
  • Security: Built-in encryption and compliance (SOC2, HIPAA), saving you time on security implementations.
  • Cost-effective: Often more economical than self-hosting, especially when factoring in operational costs.
  • Expertise on tap: Built and supported by Temporal's core team, ensuring you're always running an optimized setup.
  • Focus on development: Spend your time building Workflows, not managing infrastructure.

Importantly, it does not execute your code directly. Users of Temporal Cloud must have their own environment to run Temporal Applications.
