Workflow engine

Highway

Available

Processes that survive a crash.

Highway is a workflow engine for processes that take minutes, days or weeks to finish. Because a step and its record are written in one database transaction, an outage in the middle of an order cannot leave it paid but undelivered, or close a case with a step missing. It runs on the PostgreSQL database your team already operates and needs no separate queue, broker or scheduler.

Who it is for. Teams whose multi-step processes are costly when they fail halfway, such as payments, onboarding, fulfilment, case handling or anything with a deadline.

What it does

  • Nothing is left half done

    If a step fails, Highway rolls back to the last state the business would recognise and carries on from there.

  • No new infrastructure

    Highway needs only the PostgreSQL database you already run.

  • Durable execution

    After a crash or a restart, a workflow picks up where it stopped with no work lost.

  • Processes written as code

    You write a process as ordinary code. Its steps, retries and approvals go through code review and version control along with the rest of your changes.

  • Waits for people and for events

    A workflow can pause for an approval or a webhook, and it can split work into parallel branches and join them again.

  • Circuit breakers

    When a service starts failing, Highway detects it and stops the failure from spreading to the services around it.

  • Tenant isolation

    Records are stored with their tenant, and the engine limits any query to the data of the tenant that made it.

  • Audit trail

    Highway keeps a permanent record of the steps it has run, and you can read a process's state as it was at any point in the past.
