Summary
We're adding a workflow processing engine to Emmett for coordinating multi-step/asynchronous business processes. It uses an event store behind the scenes to provide durable execution with full observability, treating each workflow instance as an event stream that acts as both inbox and outbox for handled messages.
🙏🥺 We're really open to your questions, suggestions and constructive criticism.
