Wealth management runs on long, approval-heavy processes: a single account opening can stretch for weeks across CRMs, custodians, document chases, and advisor sign-offs, with dozens of “Not In Good Order” failure modes along the way.

Invent built an AI-native platform that lets the people who actually understand those processes design and run them, no engineer in the middle. The durable spine underneath is Temporal.

⭐ The results: Authoring new workflow templates dropped from weeks to hours, happy-path account opening from days to minutes, and 500+ templates are now live on the platform.

We're heading to LDX3 by LeadDev London, and we have a packed two days.

Here's what we're getting up to:

📅 Tuesday 2nd June
Catch our very own Simon Emms on the Solutions Zone stage at 13:25 for a talk: Failure happens. Your code shouldn't care.

📅 Wednesday 3rd June
- Live demo at 13:00 where Simon will show how to build failure-resilient workflows with Temporal in real time.
- Table talk at 14:25 on how to build AI into day-to-day workflows in a way that actually improves developer productivity.

We'll be at Booth #202 across both days. Come say hello, see a demo, or just grab some swag.

Debugging a Temporal Workflow used to mean pulling up the Web UI, scrolling through Event History to find the failure, switching to the codebase, hunting for the Workflow Definition, and piecing the story together.

Coinbase engineers wanted to just ask: "Why did this Workflow fail?" So they built a read-only Temporal MCP server. Now their AI editor pulls runtime state from Temporal and correlates it with the source code in the repo. The AI does the connect-the-dots work.

14,000+ MCP calls in a couple of months, with list_workflows and get_workflow_history doing most of the heavy lifting.

We ran Doom on a conference badge, then we shipped 2,000 of them, and then we open sourced the *entire* thing. This includes hardware files, a Temporal-powered flashing system, and MicroPython app layer so anyone can hack on it without touching C++.

What it took: memory constraints that made every allocation feel physical, a C++ runtime holding down the scary stuff while Python got the friendly APIs, and the moment we realized flashing 2,000 badges was a distributed systems problem wearing a USB cable.

Most AI agent projects don't fail because of the model. They fail because of the harness.

The prototype worked. The demo impressed. Then it hit real users, real failures, and infrastructure that was never designed for production.

On May 26th, Temporal and Grid Dynamics Global are bringing together practitioners who've built production-grade agent harnesses at scale to talk about what actually goes wrong, and what it takes to get it right.

Today’s a big one for us: we’re becoming the front-of-shirt sponsor for Crystal Palace Football Club, starting with the 2026/27 Premier League season 🦅

Whether you’re dealing with bursty workloads or looking to reduce the time to your first Temporal Workflow, Serverless Workers can help.

ICYMI: at Replay we announced that you can now run Temporal Workers on serverless compute, starting with AWS Lambda.

On our blog, we cover how Serverless Workers function at a high level, the developer experience, and when to use it. Read the post: https://temporal.io/blog/introducing-temporal-serverless-workers-deploy-temporal-workers-to-aws-lambda

A background job system often starts with the famous last words: “Just a simple queue.”

Before you know it there’s bolted on retires, a custom scheduler, and you’re the owner of a Tier-0 service nobody signed up to maintain.

In our latest blog, we detail how Standalone Activities enables you to have a simpler, more durable job processing solution. Read it: https://temporal.io/blog/standalone-activities-durable-job-processing-now-in-public-preview

If you’ve built your own prioritization logic on top of Temporal or felt the impact of one high-volume tenant overwhelming the system, we’ve got something special for you.

In our latest blog, we detail how Task Queue Priority & Fairness addresses these problems directly, letting you control which tasks execute first and ensuring no single Workflow, user, or tenant can monopolize your Workers.

We need to talk about what just happened at Replay.

2,200 developers. 75+ speakers. OpenAI, Netflix, Nvidia, Pydantic, Duolingo, and Apple on stage. 4 sold-out workshops. One Ziggy-shaped disco ball at the afterparty with Bit Brigade and All Time Low.

(We're still thinking about the Peking duck.)

Replay 2026 was our biggest yet. 🚀

For three days, Moscone South belonged to engineers building AI systems, infrastructure, developer platforms, and production applications at scale.

Some highlights:

- We announced Serverless Workers, Standalone Activities, and more (check our blog for details)
- A full-day hackathon with demos on the main stage
- Hackable badges that attendees immediately started customizing
- A typing contest on an 8-foot keyboard courtesy of Braintrust. Rematch soon?
- A meet 'n' greet with Cameron White, head coach of the San Francisco Unicorns
- An art + tech exhibit on human-machine collaboration featuring work from Neil Mendoza and 1/1 generative digital art posters by Kyt Janae
- A secret cosmic tiki bar with 2,000 floppy disks and a dancing, boba-making robot

But the part that doesn't fit in a list: the "wait, you're doing WHAT in production?" moments. The whiteboard diagrams that started in a hallway and ended with six people crowded around a laptop. Someone demoing something they built at 2am the night before. The feeling that the Temporal community is getting bigger and harder to summarize every year.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke, built, and helped pull this off. And thank you to our sponsors: Braintrust, Tailscale, Augment Code, Technoidentity, Bitovi, Grid Dynamics, Google for Startups, Liatrio, and Apartment 304.

See you at Replay 2027.
