Workshop | Optimizing Timeout Configurations (Part 3)

Part Three

Optimizing your Workflow/Activity/Child Workflow timeouts is a critical task that can affect the success of your executions and performance.

In the last part of this workshop series, we will present a number of workflow executions and see how optimizing timeouts can make a difference. We will also review best practices and general recommendations when setting your timeouts in your code.

Pre-Requisites: use html-view <h3> tags here

Recommend the html-view in the editor to ensure proper tags. Use <p> tags. We want to minimize the barriers for people to learn Temporal, and we know that not everyone is able or willing to install software on their computers. That's why this workshop uses a browser-based exercise environment provided through GitPod. Using a standard Web browser such as Chrome or Firefox, you'll have access to a private Temporal Cluster, as well as terminal windows where you can type commands and an editor you can use to write your code.

The only thing you'll need besides a Web browser is a GitHub account that you can log into from that browser (GitPod uses this to install the exercise code you'll use during the workshop).
