Description
I’m one of the developers behind Luther. We make it easy to operate “mega-workflows” – the long, cross-team, multi-system processes (insurance claims, mortgages, etc.) that today are usually held together with bespoke glue code and mismatched workflow tools, which are always about to be upgraded “any day now”.Our platform replaces that glue code with a Common Operating Script, that runs reliably and consistently across teams and systems. Systems are connected to the platform rather than each other, so it’s easy to add and remove systems as your tools change, and changes must be approved by all teams before they go live, so everyone’s operating the same process, all the time.To show how this works in production, we open-sourced a full Claims Settlement case study (75k loc in production, 12 systems and 5 teams), and you can check it out here: Repo: https://github.com/luthersystems/cross-department-claims-set... Video walkthrough: https://vimeo.com/1141432607?fl=pl&fe=cmtHow it works• Logic: Write process-operations logic in a transactional Common Operating Script. Nodes execute this logic to process events across the various teams, while maintaining consistency.• Infra: We provide a drop-in Kubernetes cluster with Prometheus/Grafana pre-wired. Use our managed version, or deploy to your cloud via Terraform.• DevEx: Our connector hub provides 100s of ready-to-go connectors (S3, Postgres, etc.) and a prebuilt GitHub Actions pipeline. We provide a production-ready repo for you. We’d love feedback from the HN crowd, especially on the pain points you’ve seen when stitching together complex workflows in enterprise environments.

Could you build this?
No Enterprise orchestration platforms for long-running, mission-critical processes like insurance and mortgages require complex distributed state machines, strict fault tolerance, audit logging, and deep regulatory compliance.
What it would actually take: Building an enterprise workflow orchestrator requires a robust distributed systems foundation (similar to Temporal or Camunda) featuring event sourcing, deterministic execution replay, distributed transactions, and high availability. It requires a dedicated team of senior distributed systems engineers, security architects, and domain experts in enterprise compliance and legacy core banking/insurance integrations.
Discussion
6 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: n8n, Make, Low-code/no-code platforms, Simple RPA tools
Concerns raised: Drag-and-drop becomes unwieldy as logic density increases, Script bloat from embedding code inside nodes, Vagueness of 'mega-workflow' definition and scalability questions, Debugging difficulty when workflows span many systems
Feature requests: Native distributed tracing across distributed systems, Centralized APM with real-time metrics, Debugging tools for cross-system workflows

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
