Chris has been busy sharing insights, and tips on a few important Cadence topics. The objective is to help the community with any potential problems. Here are the latest topics: Bad Practices and Anti-Patterns with Cadence - Part 1 Non-Determistic Errors, Replayers and Shadowers Even if you have not encountered these use cases - it is good to be prepared and have a solution ready.Please take a look and let us have your feedback. Chris is also going to take a look at ...

It is conceivable that developers constantly update their Cadence workflow code based upon new business use cases and needs. However, the definition of a Cadence workflow must be deterministic because behind the scenes cadence uses event sourcing to construct the workflow state by replaying the historical events stored for this specific workflow. Introducing components that are not compatible with an existing running workflow will yield to non-deterministic errors and sometimes developers find it tricky to debug. Consider the following workflow that executes two activities. func SampleWorkflow(ctx workflow.Context, data string) (string, error) { ao := workflow.ActivityOptions{ ScheduleToStartTimeout: time.Minute, StartToCloseTimeout: time.Minute, } ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, ao) var result1 string err := workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, ActivityA, data).Get(ctx, &result1) if err != nil { return "", err } v ...

We have covered basic components of Cadence and how to implement a Cadence worker on local environment in previous blogs. In this blog, let's write your very first HelloWorld workflow with Cadence. I've started the Cadence backend server in background and registered a domain named test-domain. You may use the code snippet for the worker service in this blog Let's first write a activity, which takes a single string argument and print a log in the console. func helloWorldActivity(ctx context.Context, name string) (string, error) { logger := activity.GetLogger(ctx) logger.Info("helloworld activity started") return "Hello " + name + "!", nil } Then let's write a workflow that invokes this activity func helloWorldWorkflow(ctx workflow.Context, name string) error { ao := workflow.ActivityOptions{ ...
