QCon SF: Database-Backed Workflow Orchestration Challenges Traditional Architecture
During QCon SF, Jeremy Edberg and Qian Li from DBOS presented a non-conventional architectural approach to workflow orchestration: treating PostgreSQL not just as a data store, but as the orchestration layer itself. Their talk addressed a persistent problem in distributed systems: workflows frequently fail, recovery mechanisms are complex, and visibility into workflow state remains challenging.
