effect-workflow

Durable workflows in TypeScript survive process restarts by persisting side effects and execution state, ensuring repeated executions resume instead of duplicating work. You define typed payloads and model external calls as persisted activities for deterministic idempotency.

Saga compensation handles distributed failures by adding rollback logic to workflows, ensuring that partially completed operations are safely reversed. You define rollback activities using `Workflow.withCompensation` to manage distributed transaction failures effectively.

Waiting for external signals in long-running workflows requires durable deferreds that pause execution safely until a signal arrives. Using `DurableDeferred`, your workflow can wait for external events while maintaining restart safety and persisted state.

Effect workflows can run in a distributed cluster environment using the `ClusterWorkflowEngine.layer`. This integration provides distributed durability, ensuring your saga-style orchestration and persisted side effects coordinate reliably across multiple cluster nodes.

Restart-safe timers and sleep delays in durable sagas require a durable clock that persists time-based waits across process restarts. Using `DurableClock`, your workflow can sleep for specified durations while maintaining deterministic idempotency and reliable execution state.
