Workflows vs Services: Why, When, and How | Replay 2023

Good technologists know that the rise of a new solution rarely means the complete obsolescence of previous tools. Workflow Engines represent a powerful new way to build software, but we need to acknowledge that “traditional” service-oriented design still has its place. In my years building on top of the workflow engine at Better.com I became a fervent advocate for the use of workflows, but I still saw many cases where a simple service was a better solution to the problem at hand. Over time, I developed a collection of mental “tests” to help me determine where implementing a service might be better than building a workflow. In this talk we will cover:
Why we use Workflows: What great problems and use-cases for workflows look like, vs use-cases better-suited to a traditional service.
How to build Workflows: Best practices on how to optimize implementation time, architecture, and quality for your workflows.
When Workflows will go mainstream: Why the business opportunities of the next decade are uniquely suited to workflow-oriented development compared to the last decade.

I'm sorry, but today there are many services that can improve the sound of your video - remove noise and make your voice clear.
In your video, by not making it clear, you're forcing the viewer to listen to noise, which can give them a headache.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to pass on this video. Really sorry about that.

Sorry about that! We got poor audio quality from the hotel, and did what processing we could. I'll try to improve the situation for this year's Replay.
