Workflow engine

Highway

Durable workflow orchestration on PostgreSQL.

What it is

A workflow engine in which application data and workflow state commit in the same PostgreSQL transaction, so a crash cannot leave partial state behind. No Kafka, no Redis, no external queues: if you run PostgreSQL, you can run Highway.

Who it is for. Engineering teams that run long-lived, multi-step processes and want the guarantees of a database transaction rather than the semantics of a queue.

  • PostgreSQL-native
  • Durable execution
  • Python DSL
  • Multi-tenant

What it does

Atomic commits

Application data and workflow state commit in the same PostgreSQL transaction, so a failure is never partial.

PostgreSQL-native

One source of truth. No Kafka, no Redis, no external queues and no extra infrastructure to run.

Durable execution

Workflows survive crashes and restarts and resume where they stopped; no work is lost.

Python DSL

Complex workflows defined in plain, readable Python without boilerplate.

Event-driven

Human-in-the-loop steps, webhooks and fan-out/join patterns are built in.

Circuit breakers

Failures are detected and contained automatically so they cannot cascade across services.

Multi-tenant isolation

Complete data isolation between tenants, enforced with row-level security.

Audit trails

Immutable event logs for compliance, with time-travel queries over historical state.
