Description

🪓 An orchestration engine for background tasks, AI agents, and durable workflows.

Key Features

  • Durable Workflows — fault-tolerant long-running tasks with pause/resume, event waits, and automatic recovery from failure
  • DAG Orchestration — build data pipelines and complex workflows with directed acyclic graph support
  • Multi-Language SDKs — first-class support for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Ruby applications
  • Scalability Controls — priority queues, rate limiting, fair scheduling, and worker slot management for production workloads
  • Full Observability — real-time web UI with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus metrics, alerting, logging, and multi-tenant support
  • Postgres-Powered Durability — uses Postgres as the durability layer for both task runtime and observability, making self-hosting simple

Use Cases

💡 Run background AI agent tasks with automatic retries and durability
💡 Orchestrate multi-step data pipelines using DAG workflows
💡 Build event-driven distributed systems with webhook and event triggers
💡 Manage task priority and rate limits for third-party API integrations
💡 Deploy self-hosted workflow infrastructure with built-in monitoring

Strengths & Limitations

✅ Strengths

  • • Actively maintained, recent updates
  • • High community interest (7.7k stars)
  • • Permissive open-source license (MIT)
  • • Established track record (2 years in production)
