Forge

Distributed workflow orchestration platform.

Full-stack

Forge — Salil Lakra

Problem

Long-running work needs DAG execution, scheduling, retries, and durable state — not a fire-and-forget job queue.

What I built

A distributed workflow engine with cron scheduling, retries, asynchronous tasks, durable state, React Flow editing, and SSE execution monitoring.

Architecture

Go and NATS JetStream for event-driven execution, PostgreSQL for durable workflow state, Next.js and React Flow on the builder, Docker to run it.

My role

Built the workflow engine, event-driven execution path, and the React Flow + SSE monitoring UI.
