Webinar

Achieving Zero-Downtime Migration from Self-Hosted to Temporal Cloud

July 16th, 2026 at 9am PST/12pm EST

Migrating a production Temporal cluster is high stakes. A poorly planned cutover can disrupt active Workflows, impact uptime, and introduce operational risk.

For teams considering a move from self-hosted Temporal to Temporal Cloud, this webinar will explore migration strategies, tradeoffs, and what it takes to achieve a zero-downtime migration. We'll also discuss when a cloud migration is the right choice, and when certain workloads may be better suited to remain self-hosted.

Experts from Temporal and Bitovi will explain how Temporal's automated migration capabilities work and share operational patterns for planning and executing a successful cutover. Drawing on experience planning and executing production Temporal migrations, Bitovi will share practical lessons and common pitfalls, followed by a code walk-through.

Key takeaways

  • Whether Temporal Cloud is the right fit for your organization
  • Which migration strategies are available and the tradeoffs between them
  • How to reduce risk during cutover, validation, and rollback
  • Lessons from real-world migrations to Temporal Cloud
