Description

Hi Temporal team!

In my day to day job, we recently tried deploying self-hosted temporal in both AWS EKS and Azure AKS. I found that there's a bunch of gotchas while deploying them. Some of them include:

  • Lack of archival support for Azure with storage containers.
  • AKS + Azure flexible postgres server fails with lots of tiny errors:
    • Azure forces you to have TLS by default, so you have to disable TLS when you deploy it.
    • To use visibility store as postgres in Azure, you need to enable BTREE_GIN extension which doesn't come by default.

I thought these might be helpful to add in documentation. Let me know if you think this is worthwhile and please feel free to leave comments.
