Today, the Taskdudes team focused on backend workflow architecture.
We implemented a shift state machine to control how shifts move through the system:
Draft → Published → Started → Completed
We also introduced:
✔ State-aware cancellation handling
✔ PATCH restrictions for published shifts
✔ Bulk shift creation APIs
✔ Cleaner business logic separation
Why use a state machine?
Because workforce systems become difficult to maintain when transitions are handled with scattered conditions and ad-hoc validations.
A structured state machine gives the following:
• Predictable workflows
• Better maintainability
• Easier debugging
• Clear business rules
• Safer scaling as features grow
Current Stack:
Next.js • NestJS • PostgreSQL • Prisma • Redis
We’re publicly documenting the entire 45-day product build journey as a collaborative engineering team.
