Why We're Moving to Discourse

Temporal is moving to Discourse from Slack for its knowledge database needs due to scalability issues with Slack's pricing model. The company has started a Discourse forum and will gradually move certain discussions away from Slack. Discourse was chosen as it meets the criteria of cost, searchability, responsiveness, accessibility, moderation, onboarding overhead, thread support, and is widely adopted. Temporal plans to keep Slack for casual discussion and brainstorming but may remove it in the future based on community feedback and usage patterns.
