Announcing new Temporal capabilities from Replay 2026
May 6, 2026

Summary
This post announces the pre-release availability of Serverless Workers, which allow Temporal Workers to run on serverless compute platforms like AWS Lambda. It highlights that Temporal Cloud will automatically invoke, scale, and gracefully shut down these workers based on workload volume and metrics, eliminating the need for manual infrastructure planning and autoscaling strategy design. The goal is to reduce time to get started and improve cost efficiency by scaling to zero when appropriate.
