Workflow orchestrator in Golang

A brief overview: 1. Workflows steps share a running context, with access to data they need require. 2. Steps in the workflow (builders) are chained together based on a topologically sorted built from the predefined input & output. 3. No servers spin up (like Conductor/Cadence) - the orchestrator is low level and meant for simplifying business logic. 4. Before/After listeners for each step. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

In plain words

This Golang workflow orchestrator chains together execution steps that share a running context, with automatic ordering based on input and output dependencies. Unlike server-based systems such as Conductor or Cadence, it runs as a lightweight library designed to simplify business logic without infrastructure overhead. It includes before and after listeners for each step, allowing developers to hook into workflow execution at key points.
