Developers building retryable AI-agent workflows
Worth noticing
The page claims a thousand branches take about 1.4 ms with zero state bytes copied; this is a stated performance claim.

Field notes

The example records results for payment, flight booking, and email effects, then shows a retry reusing those results while a later loyalty-credit effect executes. The page says effects are stored by idempotency key inside commits and that rewinds do not undo an effect. It also presents self-hosted and cloud deployments as using the same API, with a baseUrl change distinguishing them.
