Agenda

Regular Meeting time for 2024

Agreed to every 2 weeks, with a re-evaluation of how that works in April.  Demos of code will be every 3 weeks with TAMU, so those meetings will be open and separate from regular SIG scheduling.  @Ian Walls will put out the exact timing polling for folks asynchronously in Slack, trying to be cognizant of timing for non-North American community members.

Airflow demonstration

Makes use of Directed Acyclic Graphs to build workflows, using Python.  Running in Kubernetes at Stanford. 

Some key features:

• Lots of community-generated 'operators' to connect into different kinds of services

• Lists history of executions of DAGs, with filtering by status (succeeded/failed)

• Includes the ability to automatically retry if workflow steps fail

• Can be run in parallel (with sufficient underlying resources); Stanford used this to migrate millions of bibs in less than 24 hours

• DAGs can be triggered within DAGs, allowing for workflow composition

There is a Dynamic DAG generator plugin for Airflow which would be necessary for a mod-airflow (as a drop-in replacement to mod-camunda).  Replicating all the affordances within the FOLIO UI would be daunting (same with Camunda).  Perhaps having a simplified FOLIO UI for doing some basic customized workflow design, but a 'pre-built' mode for workflows that are more complex and require administration through the Workflow Engine's native UI.

See recording for the demo itself.
