Infinitic: Building a Workflow Engine on Top of Pulsar

Infinitic is a free-to-use, source-available event-driven workflow engine built on top of Pulsar. Implementing a workflow-as-code pattern, Infinitic lets you write your distributed applications as if you were coding for a single infallible machine. It proposes a fault-tolerant stateful programming model that removes most of the complexities of building and orchestrating a distributed system.
Infinitic makes intensive use of Pulsar features: functions, transactions, schema registry, subscription types, sinks, connectors. During this talk, I will showcase Infinitic capabilities and explain its architecture based on Pulsar.
