Obelisk 0.32 Release: Cooperative Cancellation, WebAPI, and PostgreSQL Support
By
tomasol
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Obelisk 0.32 introduces three major features: cooperative cancellation for workflows and activities, a new WebAPI with multi-format support, and PostgreSQL support for multi-node deployments and high availability. The cancellation system allows functions to be fallible and handle cancellation cleanly, while the WebAPI supports multiple data formats and the PostgreSQL integration enables scalable deployments.
