pg_durable: PostgreSQL in-database durable execution
SMRTR summary
pg_durable is a PostgreSQL extension that brings durable execution directly into Postgres, eliminating the need for external orchestrators like Airflow, Temporal, or stitched-together cron jobs and queues. Define workflows as SQL function graphs, and the runtime checkpoints each step so execution resumes automatically after crashes or failures. It's built on Rust via pgrx, requires no extra infrastructure, and targets backend engineers managing data pipelines, scheduled jobs, or API workflows.
