Cadence

Visit cadenceworkflow.io to learn about Cadence.

This repo contains the source code of the Cadence server. To implement workflows, activities and worker use Go client or Java client.

See Maxim's talk at Data@Scale Conference for an architectural overview of Cadence.

Getting Started

We highly recommend that you use Cadence service docker to run the service.

Use CLI Tools

Use Cadence command-line tool to perform various tasks on Cadence server cluster

For manual setup or upgrading server schema --

• If server runs with Cassandra, Use Cadence Cassandra tool to perform various tasks on database schema of Cassandra persistence
• If server runs with SQL database, Use Cadence SQL tool to perform various tasks on database schema of SQL based persistence

TIPS: Run make tools to build all tools mentioned above.
