Workflow persistence

[jaime-olivares]

Hi, are there persistence features? This is, in case there is a crash in the server application, is the updated workflow data/status saved somewhere?

Hi Jaime. Currently there are no persistence features in MicroFlow and the only way to track the flow status is to use logging. Having the ILogger.Verbosity set to LogLevel.All you can get a clue of what's going on. But tracking the data like activity constructor arguments or properties isn't currently supported. I think it's not that hard to support structured tracking in MicroFlow. For instance we can register the trackers that will be notified whenever the activity is started, finished or faulted. And notification data could include the values of every activity property. Persistence is then can be easily implemented as tracker that saves notification data into some storage.
