States, Transitions, Effects: What a `.gu` File Actually Buys
The article discusses the practical benefits of using a `.gu` file in workflow management. It highlights how this file provides a clear contract for workflows, detailing states, transitions, and effects that are often obscured in traditional code. By making data and transitions explicit, `.gu` files enhance visibility and understanding of workflow processes.
- ▪A .gu file serves as a workflow contract that enumerates explicit state data and transitions.
- ▪The Gust framework emphasizes the importance of clear data representation at each state in a workflow.
- ▪Using .gu files allows for better serialization, inspection, and management of workflow processes.
