I'm thinking of writing a toy workflow engine that takes in webhook events or RSS articles and executes a series of steps, like manipulating the data and interacting with other REST APIs, but not starting any new container (which is why I wanted something simpler and not involve k8s). Any advice on its feasibility and the architecture? (My use case is to build some automated moderation pipeline for this instance, but I expect other Zapier-like use cases as well.)
