Adventures in durable execution — Julik Tarkhanov at wroclove.rb 2026

Julik Tarkhanov closes wroclove.rb 2026 with a critique of mainstream 'durable execution' products (Temporal, Cloudflare Workflows, Durable Objects) for conflating imperative code with DAG definitions, and introduces Geneva Drive — his Ruby/Rails-native workflow engine based on Active Record, Active Job, and a polymorphic 'hero' association. A live demo inside the Kora email assistant shows workflow listing, timelines, pause/resume and step-level source/stack traces.
