Worlds Engine

Built by Floris from XYLEX Group

Worlds Engine is a workflow orchestration system for developers who don't want to deal with Temporal's complex UI and arcane SDK. It provides powerful workflow capabilities with a simple, intuitive API.

Why Worlds Engine?

• Simple API: No arcane concepts - just workflows, activities, and clear execution patterns
• Type-Safe: Full TypeScript support with compile-time safety
• Event Sourcing: Deterministic replay for crash recovery
• Saga Pattern: Built-in compensation logic for distributed transactions
• Auto-Scaling: Workers scale automatically based on workload
• Multiple Storage: Memory, file, or hybrid persistence
• Flexible Deployment: Single process, multi-process, or containerized

Quick Start

npm install worlds-engine

import { World, workflow, activity } from 'worlds-engine';

const greet = activity('greet', async (ctx, { name }) => {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
});

const welcomeWorkflow = workflow('welcome', async (ctx, input) => {
  const greeting = await ctx.run(greet, input);
  return { message: greeting };
});

const world = new World();
world.register(welcomeWorkflow, greet);
await world.start();

const handle = await world.execute('welcome', { name: 'World' });
const result = await handle.result();
console.log(result.message);
