Spooky Stories: ​​Taming deployment complexity with Temporal

Daniel Abraham, a founding engineer at autokitteh with extensive experience at companies like DataDog and Google, shares insights into managing deployment complexity, likening it to navigating the "7 Levels of Hell Deployment." His talk, part of a Spooky Stories series, emphasizes how using Temporal can simplify and streamline complex engineering challenges that range from building and deploying single repositories to managing multi-repository builds, blue-green deployments, rolling deployments, and canary testing. He outlines how Temporal's workflows can help automate and manage these processes efficiently, reducing the need for extensive internal systems and enabling more straightforward integration and management of complex deployments. This approach democratizes access to robust and reliable deployment infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on logic and composition rather than building intricate interconnected systems. Abraham highlights the benefits of composability and blackboxing in Temporal, which support efficient collaboration and responsibility sharing among developers, and notes the growing ecosystem around Temporal as seen at Replay conventions, where service providers offer integration assistance.
