About:
Cadence Workflow is a workflow orchestration engine designed for microservice architectures. It enables developers to write durable, long-running business processes as code, ensuring reliability even during service failures. The platform provides high throughput and scalability for complex, stateful applications.
Key Features:
  • Durable Execution: State is preserved through service restarts and failures.
  • Asynchronous Activity Execution: Decouples workflow logic from task execution.
  • Scalability: Designed to handle millions of concurrent workflow instances.
  • Visibility: Provides tools for tracking and auditing workflow executions.
Use Cases:
  • Financial transaction processing and settlement.
  • Media processing pipelines (e.g., video encoding).
  • Order fulfillment and logistics management.
Alternatives:
  • Temporal – A fork of Cadence with a similar core architecture but a different governance model and feature set.
  • Apache Airflow – Focuses on scheduling and monitoring complex data pipelines rather than general-purpose microservice orchestration.
