Summary

Supabase is introducing Workflows, a feature that orchestrates and executes functions in response to database events or HTTP calls. This open-source orchestration engine will coordinate existing functions across various platforms such as AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenFaas, and Postgres. Built with Elixir, the engine is deeply integrated with Postgres for job processing and storage of queues, logs, and jobs. Workflows are stateless and can be defined using Amazon States Language. The feature aims to provide a rapid development environment for microservices without worrying about servers.
