Talk title and abstract (description) Title: Implementing A Reliable Workflow Engine in TypeScript

Building reliable applications is hard! Let's say you're building the backend of an online store and your server is interrupted while a customer is completing an order. How do you recover the order without losing data or double-charging the customer? I'm working on an open-source framework (DBOS Transact) that makes this easier with reliable workflows: programs that, when interrupted, always resume from exactly where they left off. In this talk, I'll discuss how we implement and optimize reliable workflow execution in native TypeScript on top of Postgres.

Plan is for a technical talk: 2-3 minute live demo for context then a deep dive into how the TS workflow engine actually works. Happy to adapt if you think the audience would prefer a different focus.
