Nice. It is great to see native lightweight opensource (I hope it is considering that someone said that there is no license file yet) solutions hit this space. For what it's worth, I have built something similar to this but for Java programming language. You can find it here -> https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-flowret. My reason for building something like this was that the product market is just too unwieldy to work with and has multiple layers of complexity which most of the time can be done away with. Just my opinion. On a side note, you will at some point in time have to deal with multi version workflows. I know that this is one feature that limits wide adoption of an orchestrator. |

Thanks for sharing your work Deepak, you have some pretty extensive documentation! Funnily enough, the Golang framework is almost a clone of https://github.com/flipkart-incubator/databuilderframework (another orchestration engine in Java).
This is another HN post that extensively covers almost every major orchestrator in the market: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24216317
As for multi version workflows, I suppose that will have to be a tradeoff between maintaining somewhat redundant code or adding workflows as WorkflowV1 and WorkflowV2 and stitching together relevant steps in respective versions (reduces redundancy to some extent but won't eliminate)
