This post announces the pre-release of Temporal Serverless Workers, enabling deployment of Temporal Workers to AWS Lambda. It details the benefits of reduced time to first workflow, automatic scaling (including to zero), reduced operational overhead, and pay-per-use cost model. The post outlines the three-step setup process (upload code to Lambda, create IAM role, inform Temporal) and provides a Go code example. It also discusses when to use Serverless Workers versus self-managed Workers and outlines future plans for additional compute providers and SDK support.
