Aircraft
Start-up; taxi; and departure were uneventful. While cruising at FL360; approximately 2+15 into flight; the aircraft shuddered; similar to hitting turbulence. There was also a 'bang'. We looked over the engine instruments. Most gauges showed a stable engine; except for the engine 1 oil temperature gauge; which was rising quickly to redline; and ultimately above it. As the temperature continued to rise; the captain directed me to pull out the QRH; and I flipped to the ENG OIL TEMP HI checklist; as the warning light came on. The checklist directed; ultimately; a shutdown using the ENG SHUTDOWN IN FLIGHT checklist. While going through the checklists; and before the engine was shut down and secured; there was a distinct smell of oil in the cockpit. The oil temperature gauge eventually peaked above redline. Engine shutdown was uneventful; and we were able to maintain current altitude. As a crew; we discussed options; and settled on ZZZ; as it was the closest airport; the Captain said he was familiar with it; it had a long runway; and the weather was VMC. While the Captain flew; I coordinated via ACARS with [Operations]; and continued checklists; preparing for a 2-engine approach into ZZZ. The Captain advised ATC; then handed the radios back to me for the remainder of the flight. The Captain asked my opinion on options; and I concurred with his decisions. The Captain flew the recovery and landing; while I worked radios and monitored. Recovery and landing were uneventful. It was decided before landing that we would taxi clear; and have fire trucks positioned to look at the engine before we taxied to the ramp. Fire crews did a great job working with us and ground control via radio and hand signals. After terminating the flight; we taxied to the ramp.Engine 1 malfunctioned; resulting in multiple aircraft shudders; and an OIL TEMP HI warning. Oil temperature peaked above gauge redline. Shudder were suspected compressor stalls. After bringing the throttle to idle; oil temperature continued to spike. The engine was ultimately shut down per checklist.As of this report; I don't know exactly what the cause was (the engine is being looked over). I'm not sure it could be prevented; per se. Once the situation occurred; training kicked in. The Captain did a fantastic job with the recovery.
Aircraft X was approx. 50 miles south of ZZZ when crew had compressor stall & over temp on #1 engine.
Flight Crew reported number 1 engine failed in flight; resulting in an inflight engine shutdown and a diversion.
