Managed Temporal Hosting — production-ready from $15 a month
Durable execution for distributed applications. Deployed on your own dedicated instance in AWS, Azure, or GCP, kept patched, backed up, and monitored by ManageStacks — standard Temporal, no lock-in.
Temporal is a durable execution platform that guarantees workflow completion through infrastructure failures — deployed and fully managed by ManageStacks on AWS, Azure, or GCP with persistence and monitoring included.
What does Temporal do, and why do teams deploy it?
Temporal is an open-source durable execution platform that makes it simpler to build and operate reliable distributed applications at scale. It guarantees workflow completion even through infrastructure failures.
Developers write workflow logic in familiar programming languages like Go, Java, TypeScript, and Python. Temporal handles state persistence, retries, timeouts, and visibility, eliminating the need for custom queues, state machines, and retry logic.
- Durable execution with automatic state persistence
- SDKs for Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, and .NET
- Built-in retry policies and timeout handling
- Workflow versioning and migration support
- Rich visibility and search capabilities
- Scalable to millions of concurrent workflows
Durable execution for distributed applications
What does managed Temporal hosting cost?
Flat per-app pricing, in your chosen AWS, Azure, or GCP region. No per-user pricing — a busy deployment costs the same as a quiet one.
Starter
Staging and internal tools. Dedicated instance, TLS, daily backups, managed upgrades.
Standard
Production workloads. Adds monitoring, staging environment, region choice, priority support.
Business
High-traffic and compliance workloads. Adds a high-availability replica and same-day support.
24×7 SRE retainer
Round-the-clock on-call across every hosted application, for teams that need a pager answered at 3am.
When is self-hosting Temporal the right answer instead?
“Managed hosting is not always the correct call.”
Self-host when a platform team already runs the infrastructure and on-call rotation to operate Temporal at genuinely low marginal cost. Self-host when compliance requires an air-gapped or on-premises deployment that no hosted option can satisfy. And self-host when the deployment depends on heavy customisation with a fast internal build-deploy loop, because an internal release process will beat any managed change process.
For everyone else — teams whose engineers have better things to do than shepherd upgrades — managed hosting is cheaper than the hours it replaces.
Which cloud should Temporal run on — AWS, Azure or GCP?
For most workloads, the choice of cloud matters less than proximity: run Temporal in the same cloud and region as the applications and data it talks to, because every request between them adds a round trip. The underlying compute performs equivalently across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
In practice, an existing cloud footprint decides it. All plans support all three clouds, and moving regions later is a scheduled migration, not a rebuild.
Deepest managed-service catalog, default when there's no existing footprint
Best fit for teams already on Microsoft 365 or Entra ID
Strongest for data/analytics-adjacent workloads
Every plan supports AWS, Azure, and GCP — region choice included.
Common questions about Temporal on ManageStacks
How does ManageStacks handle Temporal's persistence layer?
ManageStacks provisions Temporal with PostgreSQL or Cassandra for persistence and Elasticsearch for visibility, all pre-configured and backed up daily.
Can I connect existing Temporal workers to ManageStacks?
Yes. Your ManageStacks-managed Temporal Server exposes secure gRPC endpoints that remote workers can connect to from any environment.
Does ManageStacks handle Temporal version upgrades?
Yes. We test each release for stability and handle schema migrations during upgrades. You can apply updates with one click.
