An important milestone for Temporal’s Helm Charts

Kubernetes has emerged as the standard platform for deploying scalable production software, and the recently released 1.0.0 version of Temporal Service's Helm Charts marks a significant milestone, offering stability without expected breaking changes in future releases. Originating as a side project by Temporal engineers, these Helm Charts have evolved through robust community collaboration, with contributions from nearly 150 individuals, most of whom are not Temporal employees. The new release introduces changes that require users to manually provide databases and optional components like Elasticsearch and Prometheus, as the Helm Charts no longer include sub-charts for these. Configuration updates are necessary due to changes in the values.yaml file structure, and new features have been added, including configurable readiness probes, customizable deployment strategies, and enhanced security measures. For users navigating migration or starting anew, resources such as the UPGRADING.md file, the README, and the #helm-charts channel in Temporal’s Community Slack offer guidance, while GitHub remains the platform for reporting bugs and continuing community collaboration.
