Workflow Visibility And Querying With Sql Like Search

via “workflow visibility and querying with sql-like search”

Durable execution for distributed workflows.

Unique: Maintains a separate Visibility Store indexed by searchable fields, enabling fast queries without scanning the full event log. Custom attributes are user-defined and indexed, allowing application-specific search (e.g., by customer ID or order ID) without schema changes.

vs others: More flexible than Airflow's UI (which only supports basic filtering) because Temporal supports SQL-like queries on custom attributes. More scalable than scanning the event log directly (which would require full table scans) because the Visibility Store is optimized for search.

Hey HN. Graph Compose is a hosted platform for orchestrating API workflows on Temporal. You define workflows as graphs of nodes (HTTP calls, AI agents, iterators, error boundaries) and everything runs as a durable Temporal workflow under the hood.Three ways to build the same graph: a React Flow visu

Unique: Integrates with Temporal's search attribute system to enable structured queries on workflow metadata, rather than treating workflows as opaque execution records

vs others: Understands Temporal's workflow model to provide targeted search on workflow type, status, and custom attributes, whereas generic log search treats workflows as unstructured event streams
