From Legacy to Durable: Migrating Enterprise Workflows to Temporal

Getting started with Temporal is the easy part. The hard part is what comes next: your organization has years (or decades) of business-critical logic living in brittle, undocumented, deeply entangled, and potentially unsupported systems. Cron jobs that nobody dares touch. Home-grown state machines held together with hope and tribal knowledge. Automation pipelines built on tools that were already outdated when your senior engineers started. This session is for teams that have working knowledge of Temporal, and are now facing the real migration challenge. We cover practical strategies for incrementally wrapping legacy systems with Temporal workflows without requiring a full rewrite, how to identify which processes are highest-value migration targets, and how to manage the coexistence period when old and new systems have to run side by side. Whether your legacy is a message queue, a customer orchestrator, or something that would make a conference room gasp, this session has something for you. Key takeaways Learn how to identify which legacy processes are the highest-value migration targets (and which ones to leave alone for now) Understand strategies for incrementally wrapping legacy systems with Temporal workflows without requiring a full rewrite or big-bang cutover Know how to manage the coexistence period when old and new systems have to run in parallel without introducing new failure modes Leave with a practical framework for building internal alignment around migration priorities and sequencing --- Temporal is the simple, scalable, open source way to write and run reliable cloud applications.
