Why not use something like Cadence/Temporal/Amazon Workflow Service?

Do you see this as a (future) competitor of Airflow/Luigi type workflow tools?

Why is this better than Airflow, or Prefect, or Dagster?

How does it compare to Airflow or Temporal?https://airflow.apache.org/https://temporal.io/

How it this different from any DAG-centered orchestration tool like Dagster or Prefect?

Prefect might work for your use-case:https://docs.prefect.io/

Have you tried Netflix Conductor (https://github.com/Netflix/conductor) - if you are evaluating between Airflow - this could be a great alternative - scales well and gives you option to write your workflows in code as well as config.

I feel like it's similar to Airflow https://airflow.apache.org/

So this is like aws step functions and cloudflare workflows and temporal? What are the differences, how is deployment handled?

Congrats this is huge! I've been in the market looking for a tool like this and was curious to know how this compares against toolings such as Temporal (https://temporal.io/product) or Trigger.dev(https://trigger.dev/) ?
