Retry Failures While Run in Progress
Blog post from RWX
RWX is presented as offering a more flexible failure-retry experience than GitHub Actions by allowing failed tasks to be retried immediately while unrelated tasks continue running. Its execution model treats individual steps as separate tasks, so a failed step can be retried without repeating earlier successful steps, whereas GitHub Actions typically requires rerunning the full job. The comparison notes that GitHub Actions may require users to cancel an active workflow before its rerun option becomes available, forcing a choice between stopping other jobs or waiting for them to complete. Example workflows illustrate a GitHub Actions job that fails alongside a successful sleeping job and an RWX configuration that intentionally fails on its first attempt before succeeding on retry through an attempt-number environment variable.
