Sure. Open source analogue would be Apache Airflow. Abstractly, it's some directed acrylic graph (DAG) that is asynchronously computed, sometimes on a schedul

Sure. Open source analogue would be Apache Airflow. Abstractly, it's some directed acrylic graph (DAG) that is asynchronously computed, sometimes on a schedule. Unfortunately, most things fall under DAG. But the framework / engine exists to manage the complexity of the ever-extending pipelines declared by the engineers Event/push-based workflows also fall under this taxonomy.

why acyclic? review steps can send stuff back to previous input steps, can't they?

  It is usually better to have explicit returns.

  Yeah, I mean, the computation can be re-materialized. DAG may too specific. It's really a dependency graph, that likely has a DAG topology.
