I’ve got a pretty thorough description of the problem space in this thread: Using GenServer in a state machine type workflow
I think I may have mischaracterized the needed work by calling it ‘ongoing maintenance tasks’. This is more of an event reactor situation: events come in, and they need to be acted on immediately, which doesn’t seem like a good fit with quantam (looks useful though!). Acting on those events includes some reading from and writing to a central database.
Using Tasks seems like a reasonable approach: launch a Task which queries the database and returns the desired data and/or updates data. If for whatever reasons the Task crashes, I can trap that and retry in the parent process.
