AWS Flow Ruby Support

[mcorner]

AWS has announced that they are releasing SWF Flow for Ruby: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=122497&tstart=0

This may either remove the need for simpler_workflow all together, or make it better. We will see what it looks like soon.

Definitively something to keep an eye on. I'm curious to see what it ends up looking like. A lot of people assocated with the AWS GitHub organization seem to have been watching this repo...

It looks like it has been announced and released: [https://github.com/flowdock/hubot-flowdock]. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

Indeed, I should be trying it out soon. Something we have been contemplating is building something to cleanly integrate human workers into the work flow. Possibly by providing a rails engine with a basic administrative console, ability to claim jobs, escalate jobs that aren't done, etc. etc. Haven't had time to start that yet though.
