Getting Started

Welcome to MDWR! Learn how to build explainable, replayable, and memory-aware workflows.

What is MDWR?

MDWR (Memory-Driven Workflow Runtime) combines workflow orchestration with operational decision memory to create workflows that:

• Remember every decision and why it was made
• Explain decisions automatically (compile-time enforced)
• Learn from past decisions and outcomes
• Replay with different policies or memory-informed insights

Quick Start

Build your first memory-driven workflow in 5 minutes.

Architecture Overview

MDWR uses:

• Motia as the backend runtime (event-driven, long-running)
• Mem0 as the memory layer (decision storage and similarity search)
• Redis for local memory storage (via Docker)

Developer SDK → MDWR Control Plane → Motia Runtime + Mem0/Redis
