µTask is a lightweight automation engine that models business processes as declarative YAML templates and asynchronously executes graphs of actions with retries and encrypted audit trails. It requires only a PostgreSQL database to operate and can be extended with custom Go plugins.

Use cases

• automate kubernetes TLS certificate provisioning
• bootstrap new team members with accounts and SSH keys
• run asynchronous antifraud checks for a payments API
• model and execute business processes declared in yaml
• orchestrate multi-step tasks with retries around transient errors
• keep an encrypted auditable trace of task execution

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted workflow engine with only a postgres dependency
• you want declarative YAML process definitions with dependency graphs
• you need encrypted, auditable task execution with retry handling
• you want to extend automation with custom Go actions

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed SaaS workflow service
• your workflows are simple cron-style scheduled jobs
• you require a language-agnostic plugin ecosystem beyond Go
