Distributed Workflows for Microservices-Style Applications [I]

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

A lightweight workflow library implements cross‑service business flows using NirmataOSS Workflow (Java + ZooKeeper + Curator) and models task relationships as task dependency as DAG. It schedules task nodes to distributed executors, supports automatic retries and resume after node or ZooKeeper failures, and demonstrates updating container images across many microservices on Kubernetes where independent tasks run concurrently and dependent tasks wait, showing the pattern works in production. Mentions Netflix Conductor and AWS SWF as alternatives.
