Absurd is a Postgres-native durable workflow system. It moves the complexity of durable execution into the database layer via stored procedures, keeping SDKs lightweight and language-agnostic. The core principle is to handle tasks that may run for minutes, days, or years without losing state.

All you need is a Postgres database and the single absurd.sql schema file. No extra services, no message brokers, no coordination layer.
