The text discusses the advantages of using Postgres-backed workflows for managing complex systems, particularly in the context of monthly usage-based billing processes. By representing workflows and their individual steps as rows in Postgres tables, businesses can easily query, manipulate, and recover workflows during disruptions such as software bugs or service outages. This approach allows for efficient reconstruction of workflow states and provides a systematic way to handle failures by using SQL queries to identify and restart affected workflows from specific steps. The text highlights the DBOS Transact library, which facilitates the construction and operation of such durable workflows, offering a reliable solution for maintaining application state and ensuring continuity in business processes.
