Building a concurrent DevOps tool exposed a key reliability lesson: Go's MPSC channels are fast but lose messages during crashes, making them unsuitable for critical workflow automation. This article explains why a database-backed queue, retry logic, rate limiting, modular architecture, and failure-aware design create a resilient GitHub workflow automation system that survives network failures and evolving requirements.
