Configuration

ZIO-Temporal integrates with the core ZIO Config. Therefore, you can configure your ZIO-Temporal easily!
The default way that works with no extra dependencies is environment variables. Here is the list of most frequently used configuration parameters:

  • ZIO_TEMPORAL_ZWORKFLOW_SERVICE_STUBS_SERVER_URL - Temporal server URL
  • ZIO_TEMPORAL_ZWORKER_FACTORY_MAX_WORKFLOW_THREAD_COUNT - Maximum number of threads available for workflow execution across all workers created by the Worker Factory
  • ... and more (see ZWorkflowServiceStubsOptions and ZWorkerFactoryOptions)

Note that it's possible to read from other sources. Refer to ZIO Config docs for more information

Configuring from code​

Some important configuration could be made only from code. For instance, specifying GRPC metadata (Temporal uses GRPC for server/client communication).
Such a configuration (as well as any config that might be read by ZIO Config) can be specified from code using ZIO's aspect-based DSL (@@ operator): 

import zio.temporal.workflow._
import io.grpc.Metadata

// Mutable Java stuff
val grpcMetadata = new Metadata()
// grpcMetadata: Metadata = Metadata(foo=Bar)
grpcMetadata.put(Metadata.Key.of("Foo", Metadata.ASCII_STRING_MARSHALLER), "Bar")

val workflowServiceStubs = ZWorkflowServiceStubsOptions.make @@
  // "Standard" configuration
  ZWorkflowServiceStubsOptions.withServiceUrl("my-shiny-temporal-cluster:7233") @@
  // "Non-standard" configuration
  ZWorkflowServiceStubsOptions.withHeaders(grpcMetadata)
// workflowServiceStubs: zio.ZLayer[Any, zio.Config.Error, ZWorkflowServiceStubsOptions] = Suspend(
//   self = zio.ZLayer$$Lambda$8607/0x00007f228d9c46d0@3815fc8d
// )
