Workflow Core VS DurableTask

I haven't tried it out myself but this library might fit your needs: https://github.com/danielgerlag/workflow-core

This looks suspiciously like Workflow-Core, but they are separate projects.

To ease orchestration, something like Workflow Core might be useful in reducing boilerplate setup within batch processes.

Might want to checkout DurableTasks[1] for that

Azure Durable Tasks are great for this. It’s open source too: https://github.com/Azure/durabletask

AWS Simple Workflows or Azure Logic Apps are both services that let you define S2S workflows however you like without any particular bias to CI/CD or business operations.

If you want to go even lower level, a framework like DTFx lets you define long-running, distributed and resilient orchestrations in code:

Netherite is a distributed workflow execution engine for Durable Functions (DF) and the Durable Task Framework (DTFx).

I could clearly see that the developers building applications on Microsoft Azure were facing eerily similar challenges to what I had seen back at AWS. The same challenges we had tried to address with SWF. So I used one of the internal team hackathons as an opportunity to pair up with Affan Dar and take another stab at solving the problem. Affan had a very deep understanding of Azure ServiceBus so he was the perfect person to build the backend for the stateful C# experience I had in mind. Microsoft had recently added async/await capabilities into C# and it turned out to be an amazing fit for writing stateful applications which need to orchestrate calls among microservices. Since Java lacked an async/await like primitive, we had to rely on Promise-based async approach when building SWF. But with C#, we were able to deliver a much cleaner and synchronous programming model using async/await. This hackathon project resulted in Azure Durable Task Framework as an OSS client SDK which uses Azure ServiceBus as the backend to provide a stateful workflow-as-code experience for applications. I'm so glad to see Microsoft has continued investing in the experience with Azure Durable Functions as the latest reincarnation of the original effort. An effort which started with that hackathon project.
