Ziverge / Goodcover Partnership

Ziverge Partners With Goodcover To Launch ZIO Flow

Ziverge announced a partnership with Goodcover to develop and release a new open source platform for orchestrating and executing long-running, fault-tolerant, stateful workflows for cloud-native applications.

The platform, called ZIO Flow, enables developers to orchestrate microservices for mission-critical code. With a type-safe and compositional design, ZIO Flow simplifies the creation and testing of robust workflows that interact with microservices, databases, and human agents while handling failures, software updates, and data center outages.

Use Cases

Example implementations include:

  • Capturing, approving, and processing expenses with churn handover, reminders, and escalation
  • Assigning tickets to agents with backup coverage, automated escalation, reminders, and resolution tracking

Both scenarios require orchestrating multiple fallible systems over extended periods.

Leadership Perspectives

John A. De Goes, CEO of Ziverge, described the motivation: "Orchestrating complex, long-running business logic across human agents and cloud services is tedious and error prone, because you have to worry about failures, migrations, retries, rollbacks, auditing, security, and so much more. With ZIO Flow, we want to make it trivial to declare, test, and deploy bulletproof distributed workflows that power complex orchestration logic."

Dan Di Spaltro, CTO at Goodcover, explained the partnership rationale: "Our financial security platform is mission-critical, and demands the highest standards of scalability, reliability, and availability. Ziverge has done brilliantly with the open source ZIO ecosystem, delivering innovative software and a vibrant community. As we look into 2021 and beyond, we would love to see our platform powered by the fully open source ZIO Flow technology that comes out of our partnership."

Technical Details

ZIO Flow will be developed in Scala with initial releases expected in Q2 2021. The project will participate in biannual ZIO Hackathons organized by Ziverge. Information on upcoming events is available in the monthly ZIO Newsletter.
