Keeping Sensitive Data Out of Workflow History

You’ve adopted Temporal and you’re seeing real results. But as usage grows, so does a critical question: what happens to sensitive data moving through your workflows? PII, credentials, financial records – how do you keep them safe without sacrificing the durability and observability that make Temporal valuable? This session walks through three practical patterns for handling sensitive data in Temporal, including a live demo of the Claim-Check pattern.

Key takeaways:
- Understand why workflow history creates data exposure risk and what kinds of sensitive data are most vulnerable.
- Know when and how to apply the Claim-check pattern to keep sensitive data out of Temporal entirely.
- Walk away with a mental map of approaches to data security, as well as the tradeoffs between them.
- Leave with concrete implementation patterns, applicable to Temporal today.
