Implementing with a Workflow Engine
Discover how workflow engines or specialized libraries can simplify the implementation of complex orchestration sagas.
Sagas & Workflow Engines
Orchestration sagas can become complex, especially when dealing with many steps, retries, and compensation logic.
Manually managing this state across multiple services can be a huge challenge. This is where workflow engines or specialized libraries come in handy!
What is a Workflow Engine?
A workflow engine is a software component that helps define, execute, and monitor long-running processes or 'workflows'.
- It manages the state of a process.
- It ensures tasks are executed in the correct order.
- It handles failures and retries automatically.
