Implementing Durable Workflows on Postgres Without an External Orchestrator

Postgres can serve as the durable state store and coordination layer for workflows, eliminating the need for an external orchestrator. SKIP LOCKED enables concurrent work processing, primary-key checkpoints enforce idempotency, and leases support crash recovery. Workflow sleeps and human approvals can also be persisted as database state and survive restarts.

Decision Models in Agentic Architectures: From Production to Agent Skills

Alex Porcelli discusses the critical gap in enterprise AI: non-deterministic output and lack of accountability in high-stakes decisions. He shares how integrating DMN decision models with LLMs, agent skills, and NeMo guardrails creates auditable, deterministic agentic architectures - allowing business leaders to own decision logic while engineers maintain robust architectural governance.
