   bestFor

   Before: []

   After: ["Teams needing durable workflows that must remember exactly what has happened and survive failures, human approvals, or placement changes."]

   features

   Before: ["Checkpoints persist completed workflow boundaries to allow resuming after failure without replaying the entire workflow.","Supports delays, signals, approvals, and retries that persist without holding compute resources.","Runs on Rust server runtime or embedded on iOS and Android devices with local SQLite state via UniFFI."]

   After: ["Checkpoints long-running workflows across crashes, deploys, human approvals, and lost connectivity.","Runs the same Rust runtime on servers and offline-capable mobile devices.","Supports retries, delays, and idempotency keys in job enqueuing via HTTP API.","Embeds the Rust engine in iOS and Android apps with local SQLite storage and syncs status when back online."]

   platforms

   Before: []

   After: ["Runs on servers and offline-capable mobile devices including iOS and Android via embedded Rust runtime.","Supports native iOS and Android through UniFFI integration."]

   sources

   Before: [{"url":"https://orch8.io/","label":"Orch8 — Durable Workflow Engine for AI Agents"}]

   After: [{"url":"https://orch8.io/","label":"Orch8 — Durable Workflow Engine for AI Agents"},{"url":"https://orch8.io/docs/quickstart","label":"Quick Start"}]

   summary

   Before: "Suitable for agent tool calls, payment recovery, lifecycle automation, and field operations workflows that require exact state persistence. Checkpoints persist completed workflow boundaries to allow resuming after failure without replaying the entire workflow. Supports delays, signals, approvals, and retries that persist without holding compute resources."

   After: "Orch8 is a durable workflow engine written in Rust that supports self-hosting and crash recovery. It runs on servers and offline-capable mobile devices, enabling workflows to continue after interruptions such as crashes or lost connectivity."

   useCases

   Before: ["Suitable for agent tool calls, payment recovery, lifecycle automation, and field operations workflows that require exact state persistence."]

   After: ["Running durable AI agents with checkpointed think-act loops that resume after crashes or deploys without repeating completed tool calls.","Background jobs and cron tasks with retries and dead-letter queue management from the durable engine."]

   walkthrough

   Before: ["Define a versioned sequence of workflow steps including delays, branches, retries, signals, and placement rules; Orch8 manages durable execution state while handlers implement business logic.","Completed boundaries stay completed and only the next eligible step runs, ensuring idempotency and side effect protection.","Run a workflow, interrupt it, and observe it resume from its checkpoint to verify durability claims."]

   After: ["Define a sequence as a versioned workflow with steps, delays, branches, retries, signals, and placement rules. Orch8 manages durable execution state while handlers manage business logic.","Start the engine locally with SQLite backend and optionally disable authentication for local development.","Define a sequence by posting JSON workflow definitions to the API with tenant and namespace information."]
