🧭 Distributed background workflows, durably executed
Waymark is a Rust-backed library for durable background workflows: tasks that survive server restarts, crashes, and long runtimes. It uses Postgres as its only infrastructure, and workflows are written as plain async Python with actions (retriable distributed work) orchestrated by workflow control flow. It ships client and server binaries in one Python package, with retries, scheduling, and a built-in webapp.
Why now: It was just showcased on Hacker News as a 'Show HN' with an unusual angle: compiling jobs instead of replaying them, positioning it against typical event-sourcing workflow engines.
Who it is for: Python developers who need resilient, long-running background jobs or AI-agent pipelines without deploying extra orchestration infrastructure.
