And if that job never runs? Or if that job runs and then fails to commit that it ran in postgres?

- halfcat 3mo agoThe job will run the next time a worker runs (in both cases). And doesn’t that mean the job potentially runs twice? Yes. In DBOS there are two kinds of “things that run”: workflows, and steps (workflows are made of steps). Workflows must be deterministic (so it’s fine if it runs twice). Steps don’t have to be deterministic but have at-least-once execution (so it’s best if these are idempotent).
