worker

Worker lifecycle

This sample focuses on worker lifecycle behavior using the public DTS client and worker APIs. It does not modify emulator/cloud networking or fake service faults.

Run

export DTS_CONNECTION_STRING='Endpoint=http://127.0.0.1:8080;TaskHub=default;Authentication=None'
go run ./samples/worker

What it proves

• Start runs a worker in the background.
• Activity concurrency stays within the configured bound.
• Shutdown is started while an accepted activity is blocked; the sample proves shutdown does not finish until that in-flight activity is released, then waits for bounded graceful drain.
• A new owned worker can restart processing after a prior worker stops, and the orchestration continuation after the drained activity completes after restart.
• Run blocks until its context is canceled and exits cleanly.
• The compatibility listener on a management client demonstrates the borrowed connection contract; new applications should prefer owned workers.

Activities are at-least-once, so the drain scenario uses an idempotent output and does not assert an exact delivery count. The recovery scenario is limited to bounded worker process restart ordering. Controlled service restarts or proxy fault injection are needed to validate network-fault recovery. SAMPLE_OK worker appears only after all output assertions, shutdown checks, deadlines, and exact-ID cleanup succeed.
