BFI Finance, one of Indonesia’s largest multifinance companies, rebuilt its loan origination on Temporal. The result: 4,000 digital partnership loans processed every day, around the clock, roughly 70% to 80% of BFI’s daily volume. Worker crashes and multi-day human review steps now need no custom recovery code. Read the case study: temporal.io/resources/case-s…

If your AI agent runs on a plain job queue, one crash and it buys you two plane seats It's the exact problem @mfateev cofounded Temporal for. The computer dies at step 3 and the queue starts over from step 1. If step 4 was the payment, that's your second seat Grok Bot runs every job as a durable workflow, so it reads what already happened and picks up at step 3

Well, this is fun: Temporal just placed number 1 (!) on the GeekWire 200. 🎉 Turns out keeping AI agents running when things get messy is a pretty big deal. We’re proud to be building that foundation from Bellevue (with amazing teammates all over the world). See the list: pulse.ly/q5wohr8z4l

AI models are becoming commoditized, and startups are feeling the heat. So where does the real moat live? Come to @Techweek_ with @GoogleStartups to find out.

Jev powered "auto mode" in the Temporal Agent Harness is such a natural fit. Jev is a big unlock for efficient agent oversight. Very excited to see how straightforward it was to integrate along existing harness seams. More to come here for sure.

This is the wrong approach Running agents inside the sandbox is simple in theory But in production, the sandbox's blast radius becomes your agent's blast radius For example, with the DigitalOcean architecture: - Sandbox crashes / OOMs → agent loop dies with it - Disk fills up or env breaks → agent is bricked - Exposing your own API as tools → needs extra infra - Creds can't live in the sandbox → needs a whole credential proxy layer - Sleeping sandbox can't wake itself for crons - Updating agent code → updating the binary in every VM - Monitoring → the sandbox has to report its own failures Separate the harness from the sandbox instead: - Run the harness in your backend - Expose the sandbox as tools - Keep creds, history, and permissions outside - Wake the sandbox only when needed Amp, Vercel Eve, Cloudflare Flue, Claude Managed Agents, and OpenAI's Agents SDK all use this architecture for a reason I wrote more on why and how here: rivet.dev/blog/2026-07-27-ru…
DigitalOcean Managed Agents is now in public preview. Run Claude Code, Codex, or your own LangGraph agent in a runtime environment that pauses when idle. Put its tools behind one governed endpoint, and pick from 75+ open and proprietary models. One cloud, one bill. Prompts to get started available in the blog: do.co/4ysh3it

Standalone Activities are now GA. Use Temporal as a job queue for background work. Each job is recorded before it reaches a Worker and retried according to policy. Its status, errors, and result stay in one place. All the details are on our blog: temporal.io/blog/a-better-jo…

Dario Amodei is right that safeguards need time to catch up with AI capabilities. But companies deploying agents face a related question: how much authority should they hand over? When model output becomes real action, AI safety doesn’t stop at the model. temporal.io/blog/ai-safety-d…

Congrats to @SamarAtTemporal, @mfateev, and the team at @temporalio! Major props to @lennypruss, Temporal’s very first investor. If you want the epic backstory, we interviewed Max + Samar about a year ago on Barrchives: amplifypartners.com/barrchiv…
We are incredibly excited to announce Temporal's Series E. It wasn't so long ago that we met Max and Samar working on open source Cadence at Uber. Fast forward and they're at 4K+ paying customers, a $12.55B valuation, 200%+ NDR 🔥

I still remember when Lenny first flew to Seattle to convince Samar and Max that they had built something with such enormous potential. His conviction in their project and their capacity for leadership may have exceeded their own. And yet Temporal continues to defy even our expectations!
We did it again. Temporal just raised a $550M Series E round at a $12.55B valuation. Learn more about how we got here: temporal.io/blog/temporal-ra…

We are doubling down on @temporalio as we lead their $550M Series E raise. Agents now carry out real work across the systems businesses depend on: booking travel, shipping code, moving money. A single job can cross services and clouds and run for hours or days, and every boundary is another place for the work to fail. We believe @temporalio has become the de facto solution to this problem. We’re thrilled to be backing co-founders @SamarAtTemporal and @mfateev and the entire Temporal team again.

We are doubling down and leading @temporalio’s $550M Series E Raise. Agents now do real work: calling a payments API, updating a record, closing out a job. Temporal is the foundational infrastructure helping enable these actions. We believe Temporal is table stakes for any company leveraging AI. Over 4,300 paying customers. More than $250M in run-rate revenue. It has been a pleasure to work with @SamarAtTemporal and @mfateev and the entire @temporalio team. Excited to see you take the company to new heights.
