Business-as-Code with LittleHorse 1.0

coltmcnealy

We just launched LittleHorse Server 1.0: an open-source workflow engine for Business-as-Code (SDKs in Java, Python, C#, and GoLang), built for microservices, event-driven systems, and long-running processses. Business-as-Code lets you write code that orchestrates your business process at a high level, while handling low-level integration for you. Similar idea to Infrastructure-as-Code but for your business process logic rather than infra configuration. LH also has a two-way integrations with Kafka: our Kafka Connectors signal waiting workflows or trigger new ones, and the Output Topic produces a CDC-style stream of workflow events into Kafka. Would love feedback if you're dealing with stuff like retries / DLQ's / SAGA / Outbox Pattern, etc.

This is interesting. How does it compare with Temporal or other orchestrators? Does this let you take business SOPs and convert it into workflows?

Good stuff. I'm excited to look into deeper / experiment with this project.
