From FileUploadWorkflow to creative OS: How Layer scaled on Temporal

What this post added

Layer.ai details their evolution from a simple file upload workflow to a complex AI asset generation platform powered by Temporal. They've built a visual pipeline builder where each node is a Temporal child workflow, using `workflow.wait_condition()` and a shared `all_values` dictionary as a durable data bus. They also highlight how their `RunInferenceWorkflow` supports multiple modalities (image, video, 3D, audio) without requiring redesigns, adapting to longer processing times and larger files. The post also touches on the integration of LLM agents to invoke Layer workflows autonomously.
