A question about the roadmap for the SDK Java reference implementation

[germantejero]

Is the implementation of workflow and task timeouts included in the reference implementation roadmap?

Hi @germantejero, which implementation are you talking about?

The main goal of this project is to offer the Workflow Specification. We have satellite projects to help the community implement the specification independently.

The Java and Go SDKs have their reference implementations to facilitate engagement. We also have Synapse, which is a complete, production-ready implementation.

Can you clarify?

[germantejero]

Oh, I apologize for not being clear. I was referring to the reference implementation made in Java.

[ricardozanini]

@germantejero Oh ok! You can take a look here:
https://github.com/serverlessworkflow/sdk-java/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3Aspec%3A1.0.0

Despite that, we are adding agentic use cases on top of LangChain4j. The implementation is going quite fast and we plan to have it fully by the end of this year.

You can use it thou, there are many features already there. What are you looking for?

[germantejero]

I am trying to use the java reference implementation, which I think is excellent, by the way. But I need to use workflow and task timeouts. I wanted to know if its implementation is on the roadmap.

[ricardozanini]

@germantejero they are! We are about to release a new version with fluent DSL. You will be able to write workflows programmatically with a nice API.

Thanks for the "excellent", kudos to our friend @fjtirado
