backend-workflows

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps create and maintain durable backend workflows for long-running, failure-prone operations that need retries, checkpoints, progress tracking, and scheduled execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Workflow orchestration: Structure multi-step backend processes with clear execution flow and durable checkpoints.
• Retry-safe steps: Design idempotent steps with controlled retries and delayed backoff for reliability.
• Scheduled automation: Implement cron-based or time-driven jobs for nightly, periodic, or maintenance tasks.
• Monitoring and control: Start, inspect, and wait on workflow runs while reporting meaningful progress.
• Use case: A backend service needs to import customer data, validate it, save it in stages, and recover cleanly if any step fails.

Quick Start

Use this skill to design a Drumr backend workflow for a long-running task, including steps, retries, progress updates, and queue selection.
