I mostly considered naming to be a distraction from getting the real work done. I also am probably not good with names as my other alternative was Megalodon (4 syllables) - I just wanted to have some megafauna name. Happy to hear what you folks would suggest :)
"Dinornis" or "Moa" in maori.
How does this compare to Prefect? https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/why-not-airflow-4cfa4232...
To be honest Prefect just got on my radar last week, so I will need to look at it more closely, I was not aware of them till then. Obviously this is for JVM, plus I am not sure how Prefect addresses following two points I mainly focus on: - make rapid prototyping of new steps possible during runtime, without any need to restart/redeploy - focus on distributed processing, where in master-less Titanoboa cluster you can…

Approaching 100 containers cap in US, so if something does not work, dont be mad :)
If anybody's curious about this "public beta hosting - HN bear hug" performance load test: I just (sequentially) restarted all 4 servers behind my 2 load balancers - seems that by reaching 100 containers in each geography the provisioning threads may have died after many (unsuccessful) retries, so need to restart the thread pools. That is one more error I need to handle (or increasing my limit in AWS).
Being a JVM friendly tool, it would be great to unlock other JVM syntaxes to allow scripting in any lanugage.. Jython for Python, Quercus for PHP, JRuby for Ruby, etc.
yes, I am considering this and it should not be that hard (also Kotlin, Nashorn javascript...), but at this stage Titanoboa is just a one-man-show - so patience, I might get there ;)

Ti-ta-no-bo-a 5 syllables. Agreed that this is unwieldy to say in normal speech.

This is not true in many use cases. There are tons of ways to handle low code/no code. It is a very hard problem to solve, and vendors end up building basic "low-code" wrappers around API endpoints, and that's why it looks like a lost cause. Done right, (we are a living proof it can be done, at Syncari), one can do a lot of stuff done without any coding
Do you have any links to some blog posts discussing it (the "doing it right" approach)? I would agree that it definitely depends on the use case. I will definitely check out Syncari - just opened the landing page and it looks great!
For us, it is about:
* implementing deep integrations that are commonplace
* not spraying too thin in the quest of supporting hundreds of systems
* thinking from a data model/data/eventually consistent system perspective
* completely dropping the reactive/trigger based/if-this-then-that point-to-point model.

Very true. We really should stop overloading the term Workflow in software. As of now these are the broad categories that abuse the term workflow. 1. State Machines For example in Jira a bug/ticket moves through different states to reach a final stage. This type of state-machines can be found in a lot of different softwares - most CMS/bug-trackers/CRMs where the entity is different (document/bug/lead). The motive of…
I'd like you to listen to this file, which is your first 'headline' read by `say`: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fanpqs8lv2d9nvl/say.m4a?dl=0 Now imagine yourself in the shoes of a vision-impaired person relying on a technology like VoiceOver. Do you understand how unbelievably frustrating that is?

Yeah - thats “frustrating” for like what, ‘dozens’? As opposed to just the other problems in the world that dwarf this?
Now imagine you are a % of the population of the globe who actually requires this to be a thought.
Yeah - personally, i see this as a statistical straw-man.
Sure, why dont you imagine yourself as a gay queer trans java programmer from ohio that moved to silicon valley for more acceptance and is going to try to make it in FAANG based on the fact that youre gay queer trans as opposed to say, your ability and then blame people on the hostility of the environment to you because you choose to only wear naturally harvested wool and eat kale.
Yeah, nobody gives a shit.
Either be a good person and do good work, or GTFO - nobody really cares about anything else.
I especially love your web UI. It makes it very easy to start experimenting with workflows without the overhead of having to set up a local development environment.
I am curious how you store secrets (e.g. AWS access key id, secret access key). There isn't a login wall and it's not clear that the values will be protected from you, so I am loathe to put my credentials on there.
Great work overall. Wish you the best.
