Building pgflow full-time - a Postgres-native workflow engine purpose-built for Supabase.

For the last several months, I've been focused on one thing: turning Supabase primitives - Queues and Edge Functions - into a declarative orchestration layer built entirely on Supabase primitives. pgflow lets you build reliable, multi-step, parallel logic using a type-safe TypeScript DSL, all without introducing new infrastructure.

• 18 years building production-grade web systems (Ruby on Rails, APIs, databases)
• Switched to Supabase + TypeScript 2 years ago to explore simpler, Postgres-first architectures
• Obsessed with using databases as durable, expressive business logic engines

• 🚀 pgflow: a Postgres-native workflow engine featuring:
  • ACID-compliant SQL execution engine built on top of PGMQ
  • Serverless Edge Worker for handling task execution, retries, and concurrency
  • Type-safe DSL in TypeScript for defining workflows
  • CLI for managing flow definitions and migrations
  • Realtime client library (WIP) for streaming execution state to the frontend
  • High-quality documentation and exceptional developer experience

I'm open to working with:

• Teams building on Supabase who want:

  • Early access to pgflow
  • Help implementing non-trivial workflows
  • Direct input into the roadmap via tight feedback loops

• Developer tools companies focused on improving developer experience:

  • Building intuitive, powerful developer tools
  • Creating systems that prioritize great UX for engineers while being simple, flexible, and robust
  • Delivering elegant solutions to complex problems

• Developer experience and tooling - creating systems developers love to use
• High-level system design and orchestration patterns
• Functional programming (esp. Clojure)
• Using relational databases as execution environments
• Technical writing and documentation - crafting clear, comprehensive guides

Open to conversations about developer experience and tooling.
