How does this compare to something like Node-Red[0] which is also flow based?

There are lots of things that other workflow engines cannot do:

Reset workflow : important to recover from bad states for any reasons. You may have bugs caused this or because downstream outages. Reset can let you go back like timing machines.

Search attributes: let you search for anything like having unlimited database index.

It seems node-red has a single-threaded execution engine, see: https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-performance-benchma...

However this iWF can execute flows in parallel: "Parallel execution of multiple threads of business".
