Trailblazer
summary
Trailblazer extracts business logic out of controllers and models into operations as functions that orchestrate small steps via a railway DSL, making each use case testable and faster. Version 2.1 adds tracing and a BPMN-style visual editor plus a workflow engine for long‑running processes. The stack integrates Reform/ActiveRecord steps and generates diagrams from code, which the German police adopt to replace out-of-sync process documents — a working deployment that reduced manual flow‑mapping.
