Armin Ronacher's `absurd` is an implementation of durable workflows for postgres:

I've not used it, but it's worth comparing to other options

If you don't need a ton of throughput I think `absurd` (and our Rust derivative `durable`) are very nice options that keep the client side extremely simple. It's also lightweight enough that a coding agent can keep the entire thing in its head easily and just run queries to look up state as needed.

cross-checking your profile suggests that https://github.com/tensorzero/durable is the repo you're referring to

You might consider another name for it, that one is wholly ungoogle-able! Looks neat though

		TBH it's intended only for internal use (we don't even publish it as a crate at this point) so I don't particularly mind it being low-key. But I appreciate it!
