Wouldn't you still want to actually store transactional data inside of a database? Like, you would use all the workflow stuff to do all the business logic, and the workflow(s) themselves are long-running workers which interact with the database(s).

I'd imagine if anything it makes databases _easier_ to reason with, because you could shard by workflow steps or something.

By “there’s no DB”, burgundy means that the dev doesn’t interact with the DB—the state of all their code is automatically being saved to the DB at each step.
Yes, that's what I meant, I should have made that clearer
