Building More Reliable Workflows With Events

The article discusses the importance of building reliable workflows with events in applications. As tasks become more complex, they can be split into multiple independent steps or phases, often referred to as "workflows" or step functions. Developers need confidence that their critical workflows are running consistently, reliably, and durably. Workflow orchestration frameworks can help manage these complex tasks with significant learning curves. The article presents an approach where developers write complex jobs combining multiple steps right in code while minimizing custom DSL and concepts to learn. This approach provides a simple way to run the workflows from local development to production, ensuring transparency, portability, and potential for self-hosting.
