func SubscriptionWorkflow(ctx workflow.Context, id string) error {	ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, opts)
	// Cadence retries this activity for you.	err := workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, Charge, id).Get(ctx, nil)	if err != nil {		return err	}
	// Durable sleep: survives worker restarts.	workflow.Sleep(ctx, 30*24*time.Hour)	return workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, Renew, id).Get(ctx, nil)}

Why Cadence?

Event-Sourced State

Workflows resume seamlessly from exact points of failure using execution history logs.

No External Message Queues

Eliminate SQS/RabbitMQ management: Cadence handles task matching and queuing natively.

Pluggable Persistence

Scalable storage backend support for Cassandra, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and OpenSearch.

Powering mission-critical workflows at companies like Uber, DoorDash, and NetApp.
