ruvon-sdk 0.1.0

Offline-first workflow engine for edge devices - saga compensation, store-and-forward, fleet config rollout

Ruvon — Workflow Runtime for Edge and Cloud

Describe it. Run it. Scale it.

Ruvon is a Python workflow engine built around provider-based dependency injection. The same SDK runs on a constrained edge device (SQLite, offline-first) and on a cloud control plane (PostgreSQL, Celery, distributed) — different backends, identical step functions and YAML definitions.

DEVICE RUNTIME   │  CLOUD WORKER  │  CONTROL PLANE  │  DASHBOARD
SQLite / WAL     │  PostgreSQL    │  PostgreSQL      │  Next.js 14
SyncExecution    │  Celery        │  Celery          │  Keycloak RBAC
Offline-first    │  Horizontal    │  Fleet & policy  │  9-page UI

Deployment Contexts

• Point-of-sale & payment terminals — offline transaction queuing with store-and-forward
• Robotics & autonomous systems — deterministic mission plans that survive connectivity loss
• Medical devices & wearables — air-gapped procedure logs with guaranteed local persistence
• Industrial IoT & factory automation — local processing and ML inference without cloud dependency
• Field operations & logistics — resilient mobile workflows with automatic sync on reconnect
• Any environment where local execution, intermittent connectivity, or fleet management matters

5-Minute Tutorial

pip install ruvon-sdk

from ruvon.implementations.persistence.sqlite import SQLitePersistenceProvider
from ruvon.implementations.execution.sync import SyncExecutor
from ruvon.builder import WorkflowBuilder

def validate_payment(state, context, **_):
    return {"validated": True}

def process_charge(state, context, **_):
    print(f"Charging ${state.amount}")
    return {"charged": True, "txn_id": "txn_abc123"}

builder = WorkflowBuilder(
    persistence_provider=SQLitePersistenceProvider(db_path=":memory:"),
    execution_provider=SyncExecutor(),
)
builder.register_workflow_inline("Payment", steps=[
    {"name": "Validate", "type": "STANDARD", "function": validate_payment},
    {"name": "Charge",   "type": "STANDARD", "function": process_charge},
])

workflow = builder.create_workflow("Payment", {"amount": 49.99})
workflow.start()
print(workflow.status)   # COMPLETED

Or run a complete example:

python examples/payment_terminal/terminal_simulator.py
python examples/loan_application/run_loan_workflow.py

# Browser demo (no Python install needed — runs entirely in-browser via Pyodide)
python -m http.server 8080   # then open http://localhost:8080/examples/browser_demo/

Step Types (11 built-in)

Type	Description
STANDARD	Synchronous function execution
ASYNC	Long-running task via Celery or thread pool
DECISION	Conditional branching with WorkflowJumpDirective
PARALLEL	Concurrent tasks with configurable merge strategy
HTTP	Call external services — Go, Rust, Node.js (polyglot)
LOOP	Iterate over collections or poll until condition
FIRE_AND_FORGET	Non-blocking async for notifications/audit
CRON_SCHEDULE	Scheduled recurring execution
HUMAN_IN_LOOP	Pause workflow for manual approval
AI_INFERENCE	On-device ML inference — TFLite, ONNX, or shard-paged LLM
WASM	Execute a WebAssembly binary via WASI or Component Model

Provider Pattern

builder = WorkflowBuilder(
    persistence_provider=SQLitePersistenceProvider("device.db"),    # or PostgreSQL
    execution_provider=CeleryExecutionProvider(broker_url="..."),   # or Sync
    observer=LoggingObserver(),
)

Key Features

Store-and-Forward (Edge)

Payments and transactions queue locally when offline. Automatic sync when connectivity returns. Cryptographic HMAC signing for tamper-evident records.

Saga Compensation

Define a compensate_function per step. On failure, compensations run in reverse order. Status becomes FAILED_ROLLED_BACK. No saga coordinator required.

steps:
  - name: ReserveInventory
    type: STANDARD
    function: steps.reserve_inventory
    compensate_function: steps.release_inventory
  - name: ChargeCard
    type: STANDARD
    function: steps.charge_card
    compensate_function: steps.refund_card

ETag Config Push

Push fraud rules and workflow definitions to your entire device fleet without firmware updates. Edge devices poll with If-None-Match; the server responds with 304 Not Modified when nothing changed.

AI Workflow Builder

Describe what you need in plain English. Ruvon generates the YAML.

ruvon build generate "handle incoming loan applications with credit check and human approval"

Zombie Recovery

Worker crashes leave workflows stuck in RUNNING. Ruvon's heartbeat system detects stale workers and marks them FAILED_WORKER_CRASH automatically.

ruvon scan-zombies --fix
ruvon zombie-daemon --interval 60
