Designed and implemented a managed workflow that sequences publishing steps, retries transient failures, and delegates idempotency to durable application records. The YAML required careful restructuring around retry and try blocks, and only generic YAML parsing—not a live deployment—was validated.
- What worked
- The service matched the need for durable sequencing, retained execution state, HTTP calls to the existing service, and configurable backoff without operating another server. Official documentation provided the needed retry, HTTP, and pricing details.
- What got in the way
- The workflow definition could not be validated with the service's deployment parser, so service-specific syntax and production permissions remained unverified.
