Workflow Backend Solution ​

The Workflow Backend solution uses Xian as an authoritative workflow state machine while normal Python workers claim, process, project, and expose work items.

The machine-readable solution manifest lives at xian-configs/solutions/workflow-backend/solution.json.

Composition ​

  • template: single-node-indexed locally, embedded-backend remotely
  • contracts: xian-configs/solutions/workflow-backend/contracts/
  • examples: xian-py/examples/workflow_backend
  • services: processor worker, projector worker, and application API

Commands ​

bash
cd ~/xian/xian-cli
uv run xian solution show workflow-backend
uv run xian solution starter workflow-backend
uv run xian solution starter workflow-backend --flow remote

Use the solution starter output as the canonical local or remote walkthrough.
