A demo showcases a deep research agent that splits a question into sub-questions, fans them out across up to 20 dynamically spawned Cloud Run workers, and scales them back down automatically when done. The setup uses a worker controller that monitors the Temporal task queue backlog and scales the Cloud Run worker pool accordingly. The demo also highlights human-in-the-loop approval via Temporal signals and durable execution for long-running, network-dependent AI agent workflows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are Temporal serverless workers on Google Cloud Run and how do they scale? Temporal serverless workers on Google Cloud Run are a pre-release feature where a worker controller instance watches for backlogs in the task queue and automatically scales a Cloud Run worker pool to match, provisioned via Terraform or similar tooling. As tasks increase, more Cloud Run workers spin up; once work completes, they automatically shut down since Cloud Run is serverless, avoiding manual worker management. _Track how teams manage scaling for durable execution workloads like this on daily.dev._ ### Why do AI agents need durable execution frameworks like Temporal? AI agents need durable execution because they are long-running, side-effecting, and network-dependent, making them prone to failures mid-task. Temporal provides this by letting developers write a happy path while automatically resuming from crashes as if nothing happened, which is why Temporal workflows commonly appear when searching for durable execution solutions for AI agents. _Developers building resilient AI agent pipelines follow durable execution patterns like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Temporal reveals serverless option for its Durable Execution platform](https://daily.dev/posts/temporal-reveals-serverless-option-for-its-durable-execution-platform-o3rnnfwsf) · The New Stack · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#gcp](https://daily.dev/tags/gcp), [#serverless](https://daily.dev/tags/serverless) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/1-deep-research-agent---20-serverless-workers-demo-6pgrzysbx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"1 Deep Research Agent - 20 Serverless Workers | Demo","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/1-deep-research-agent---20-serverless-workers-demo-6pgrzysbx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/1-deep-research-agent---20-serverless-workers-demo-6pgrzysbx"},"datePublished":"2026-08-04T17:53:05.284Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T19:43:18.942Z","description":"Temporal has announced serverless workers on Google Cloud, currently in pre-release.
