- Manage workflow state, retries, branching logic, and partial failure handling in code
- Apply best practices around idempotency, error handling, and defensive coding
- Add structured logging, metrics, and observability to backend services
- Debug and resolve integration issues across distributed services
- Deploy services using existing CI/CD pipelines and understand production behavior
