Episode Details

When your VPS SSD dies at 3AM, taking down all your micro-automations with it, you need more than just scripts — you need visibility and recoverability. This episode unpacks the crucial distinction between workflows, automations, and workers, and explores four real platforms for managing self-hosted tasks. From Huginn's event-driven agents to Temporal's enterprise orchestration, we break down what actually works for running ten to twenty independent scripts without SSHing in every morning. Plus, how AI code generation shifts the bottleneck from writing code to infrastructure management.
