Francis is now stable and already running on 10,000+ installs — With Blue Ink
What it is: Francis is a newly stable (v0.1.0) distributed actor framework and durable workflow engine built for Go, created by Alessandro Segala.
Key Inspirations: It combines the in-process library convenience ofOrleans with the flexibility of Dapr , but scales down to single-replica setups just as well as it scales up.
Production Proven: It has been running in production since July insidePocket ID (an OpenID Connect provider with over 10,000+ installations).
Actors: Single-threaded state units that persist state and run alarms (surviving restarts automatically).
Jobs: Fire-and-forget, retriable tasks that support cron scheduling and idempotency keys.
Workflows: Multi-step, graph-based processes supporting automatic compensations (rollbacks) if a step fails.
Built-in Actors: Ready-to-use patterns like rate limiters and cluster-wide cron jobs.
