Case details

A long-running workflow typically consists of a series of steps leading to its completion. However, a failure in one step might require restarting the entire workflow, which is costly. Breaking each step into its own workflow can mitigate this issue but introduces challenges in workflow management. In this talk, we will explore how to use Event Sourcing engines like Dapr and its constructs such as stateful workflows, activities, and replays to curate workflows that minimize the cost of failures while still abstracting away the complexities of workflow management.
