The idea is to split a microservice that will start new workflows on call and a separate instance(s) that will be responsible for work. |

Yes it is. I'm doing that in a project with no issues. |

After seeing another discussion on starting a workflow without registering all the same workflows with the client, I realized that it was exactly my mistake: I was trying to use a client that wasn't set up 'properly'. workflowController = new WorkflowController(<... same configuration as a host ...>); // important: controller, not host
workflowController.RegisterWorkflow<YourWorkflow>();
await workflowController.StartWorkflow(nameofYourWorkflow, versionofYourWorkflow, data, reference);I wonder if other features like queues or lock mechanisms would improve on that. |
