+# Temporal Cloud Run OpenTelemetry worker
+
+A Temporal Worker running in a Google Cloud Run **worker pool** that exports
+Temporal SDK metrics and traces through a
+[Google-Built OpenTelemetry Collector](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/instrumentation/opentelemetry-collector-cloud-run)
+sidecar. Worker pools keep CPU allocated, unlike request-driven Cloud Run services.
+
+`CloudRunOpenTelemetryPlugin` from `io.temporal:temporal-gcp-cloud-run-opentelemetry` configures the
+SDK metrics scope, tracing interceptors, OTLP exporters (default `http://localhost:4317`), and
+shutdown flushing. It derives `service.name` from `CLOUD_RUN_WORKER_POOL` and reports metrics every
+60 seconds, matching the OpenTelemetry SDK default across the Temporal SDKs.
+
+## Unreleased SDK dependency
+
+`temporal-gcp-cloud-run-opentelemetry` is not yet released. `settings.gradle` resolves it (and the
+other `io.temporal:*` modules) from a local SDK checkout via a Gradle composite build, defaulting to
+`../sdk-java` and overridable with `-PtemporalSdkPath`. CI has no checkout, so its build stays red
+until the module ships; then drop the composite block and bump `javaSDKVersion`.
+
+```bash
+./gradlew -PtemporalSdkPath=/path/to/sdk-java :gcp:cloud-run:opentelemetry:build
+```
+
+## Files
+
+- `.../cloudrun/opentelemetry/CloudRunWorker.java` — plugin, client, Temporal Worker, bounded `SIGTERM` shutdown.
+- `collector-config.yaml` — collector for cumulative Prometheus metrics and batched traces.
+- `worker-pool.yaml` — worker and collector containers sharing localhost, config from Secret Manager.
+- `Dockerfile` — packages the Gradle application as the worker container.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Run from the repository root, with a Temporal Cloud namespace and API key.
+
+1. Store the API key and collector config in Secret Manager:
+
+   ```bash
+   printf '%s' "$TEMPORAL_API_KEY" | \
+     gcloud secrets create temporal-api-key --data-file=- --project="$PROJECT_ID"
+   gcloud secrets create temporal-collector-config \
+     --data-file=gcp/cloud-run/opentelemetry/collector-config.yaml --project="$PROJECT_ID"
+   ```
+
+2. Build and push the image (tag `REGION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/temporal-samples/cloud-run-worker:latest`)
+   with `docker build -f gcp/cloud-run/opentelemetry/Dockerfile .`.
+
+3. Replace the placeholders in `worker-pool.yaml` (project, region, namespace, address, secret
+   versions, image), then deploy:
+
+   ```bash
+   gcloud run worker-pools replace gcp/cloud-run/opentelemetry/worker-pool.yaml --project="$PROJECT_ID"
+   ```
+
+The worker-pool service account needs `roles/monitoring.metricWriter`, `roles/telemetry.tracesWriter`,
+and `roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor`. Start a workflow on task queue `cloud-run-worker` to
+generate telemetry:
+
+```bash
+temporal workflow start --type GreetingWorkflow --task-queue cloud-run-worker \
+  --workflow-id cloud-run-greeting --input '"Google Cloud"'
+```
+
+The collector does **not** batch cumulative metrics: a shutdown flush batched with a recent periodic
+export would collide on the same Prometheus series and be rejected as `Duplicate TimeSeries`.
