FROM THIS

Fragmented glue code

Ad-hoc cron jobs

Opaque pipelines

TO THIS

One unified engine

Deterministic execution

Full traceability

Modern applications run on a tangle of cron jobs, event handlers, and glue code. There is no single source of truth, no replay capability, and no visibility into what actually happened.

Features

Built for production workloads

From prototype to production without rewriting your workflow.

Deterministic Execution

Same input, same output — every time. Enables replay, debugging, and testing without surprises.

Git-native

Workflows live in your repo. Versioned by commit hash. Diff, review, and rollback like code.

Event-Driven

No polling. PostgreSQL logical replication feeds workers directly. React to changes as they happen.

Use Cases

Designed for real production workflows

Patterns that teams actually run in production.

Backend Orchestration

Replace fragile glue code with declarative workflows. Coordinate microservices, APIs, and databases.

AI Pipelines

Chain LLM calls, embeddings, and vector searches with retries, branching, and human oversight.

Human Approval

Pause workflows for manual review and sign-off before critical steps. Resume automatically.

Event Automation

React to database changes, webhooks, and schedules. No polling, no wasted cycles.

Write once. Deploy anywhere.

Define your workflow as code. Run it anywhere.
