Temporal Cloud now offers migration tooling for seamless transitions from self-hosted Temporal instances. This pre-release feature automates the migration process with zero downtime for workflows, requiring minimal application code changes. It involves a migration server and proxies for secure communication, with a step-by-step guide for preparation, initiation, monitoring, validation, and finalization or abortion. The tooling currently supports self-hosted to Cloud migrations, with reverse migrations planned.
