|
|
||
| The persistence provider persists the state of a workflow instance with execution pointers. They are created when visiting a step while executing a workflow and hold information about their outcome. |

I think execution pointers are more of an internal concept, not really specific to persistence?
Either way, I'm not sure this paragraph gives a description of what they are.

| The workflow host keeps workflow definitions in the registry when they are registered. When starting a workflow, the workflow host creates a new instance for the desired workflow definition. | |||

The workflow host does not keep the definitions, the registry does, the workflow host accesses the registry.

@danielgerlag Thanks for your review, I have updated the pull request. Better now? Target audience is mainly consumers of the library, but I have found it easier to work with Workflow Core when also understanding some of the more internal concepts. |

This documentation PR adds a short overview over some main components which are available in Workflow Core. Having a bigger picture or architecture view was something I missed when starting with Workflow Core.
I'd prefer something like a C4 components diagram, but readthedocs seems to be limited with diagram options.
Any suggestions/ideas?
