SqlFlow is a durable workflow engine that leverages PostgreSQL or SQL Server for state persistence and native signaling (LISTEN/NOTIFY, Service Broker, or NATS) to avoid polling, with multi-language SDKs. It offers a simpler alternative to heavy engines like Temporal, featuring multi-tenancy and a management API/control panel.

Target audience: backend developers, devops, platform engineers
