Manage Namespaces - TypeScript SDK
How to create and manage Namespaces
You can create, update, deprecate or delete your Namespaces using either the Temporal CLI or SDK APIs.
Use Namespaces to isolate your Workflow Executions according to your needs.
For example, you can use Namespaces to match the development lifecycle by having separate dev and prod Namespaces.
You could also use them to ensure Workflow Executions between different teams never communicate - such as ensuring that the teamA Namespace never impacts the teamB Namespace.
On Temporal Cloud, use the Temporal Cloud UI to create and manage a Namespace from the UI, or tcld commands to manage Namespaces from the command-line interface.
On self-hosted Temporal Service, you can register and manage your Namespaces using the Temporal CLI (recommended) or programmatically using APIs. Note that these APIs and Temporal CLI commands will not work with Temporal Cloud.
Use a custom Authorizer on your Frontend Service in the Temporal Service to set restrictions on who can create, update, or deprecate Namespaces.
You must register a Namespace with the Temporal Service before setting it in the Temporal Client.
