Pattern
Durable execution as a library (DBOS, Vercel Workflow)
Make ordinary application functions durable by checkpointing their steps into storage the application already has (Postgres for DBOS, a pluggable backend for Vercel's Workflow SDK), so an event-triggered agent loop survives crashes without a workflow cluster to run.
Classification Durable execution embedded in the application, no separate orchestration server.
