Covers building a user onboarding workflow as a state machine, including starting a saga from a UserRegistered event, handling sequential steps (verification email, email confirmation, welcome email), using Wolverine's timeout messages to limit saga lifetime, managing saga state persistence with PostgreSQL, and handling edge cases like missing saga instances and optimistic concurrency via version numbers. The demo uses RabbitMQ as the message broker and shows the full flow with breakpoints and database inspection. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
