Cloud Benchmark: Temporal Cloud vs. Self-Hosted

What this post added

This post presents a benchmark comparing the application-side latency of Temporal Cloud against a self-hosted Temporal Service. It details the benchmark setup using a Kubernetes cluster, Omes for load testing, and the measurement of five SDK metrics: WorkflowEndtoEnd Latency, StartWorkflowExecution Latency, SignalWorkflowExecution Latency, RespondWorkflowTaskCompleted Latency, and RespondActivityTaskCompleted Latency. The results consistently show lower latency in Temporal Cloud across all measured metrics, attributing these improvements to the custom persistence layer's efficient sharding, WAL, and tiered storage.
