That's an exciting project! One thing that would be cool is to build a workflows engine on top of the pubsub + key-value primitives. This is something that I think too many teams build internally but we need it to be a platform service instead of hand-rolled over and over.

For instance there is a project that I think is pretty interesting but it's built on top of kakfa so you pretty much need to be running kafka to use it. I wish I could swap out redis as pubsub + kv store and I'd use that project in a heartbeat.




Yea had similar aspirations. Someone even implemented the "Flow" concept as a Go interface. I felt like the first implementation was too complex and we never got back to it but definitely agree, it's a core primitive that needs to be built. Flow, triggers and actions that can be sequenced into steps with rollbacks.
