Temporal Cloud serves as a software as a service (SaaS) infrastructure platform, specifically designed to manage the durability of your Temporal Applications.
Temporal Cloud offers developers a hassle-free way to leverage the power of Temporal without the operational overhead. Here's what you get:
- Scalability: Start small and grow seamlessly. Handles anything from modest workloads to 100B+ actions/month.
 - Reliability: 99.99% uptime guarantee, with automatic updates and maintenance.
 - Security: Built-in encryption and compliance (SOC2, HIPAA), saving you time on security implementations.
 - Cost-effective: Often more economical than self-hosting, especially when factoring in operational costs.
 - Expertise on tap: Built and supported by Temporal's core team, ensuring you're always running an optimized setup.
 - Focus on development: Spend your time building Workflows, not managing infrastructure.
 
Importantly, it does not execute your code directly. Users of Temporal Cloud must have their own environment to run Temporal Applications.
