SWF is awesome, but it can feel very abstract for most use-cases. In light of this, one of my good colleagues wrote a library called Super Simple Worfklow. It provides the level of simplicity that one would have expected from SWF to begin with. We opened sourced it at my company, check it out[1]. We use this library for production services.
(Full disclosure: I work at Bazaarvoice, and my colleague does, too!)

- muyfine 10y agoNice! SWF is sadly an under-utilized service outside of Amazon - great to see more accessible abstractions being built on top of it. We wrote a simple abstraction around SWF to make is easier to work with: https://github.com/swift-nav/wolf https://github.com/swift-nav/wolf Excited about the potential of using lambda functions with SWF - we have workflows with predominantly idle workers that would greatly benefit from it!
