Configuration

See Quickstart and Storage Backends.

SkipperConfig

Member	Description
SkipperConfig.forService(name)	Create a config with a unique service name.
workflowStore / scheduler	The storage and scheduler factories. Default to an embedded SQLite store.
mySqlDataSource	JDBC DataSource for the MySQL adapter.
defaultRetryStrategy	Default retry strategy for actions that don’t specify one.
defaultCheckpointMode	When action checkpoints are flushed (eventual vs immediate).
exceptionClassifier	Global ExceptionClassifier factory.
metrics	Metrics implementation factory (no-op by default).
tenant	Namespace key for this service’s workflows, tasks, and cluster rows (default "default").
shouldIsolateTenant	Predicate (rawTenant) -> Boolean; return true to append a stable per-config suffix to tenant, isolating deployments that share one store.

Tenant isolation

Every workflow, scheduled task, and cluster-membership row Skipper writes is namespaced by tenant (default "default"). When several deployments share one backing store — for example, multiple developers running ephemeral instances against the same database — give each its own namespace by setting shouldIsolateTenant. When the predicate returns true, Skipper appends a stable, unique per-config suffix to tenant so the deployments don’t collide:

config.shouldIsolateTenant = { isDevEnvironment }

config.setShouldIsolateTenant(rawTenant -> isDevEnvironment);

The predicate receives the raw (unsuffixed) tenant and is evaluated on every read, so it always reflects the current value. The suffix is generated once per config instance and then stays stable, so reads are consistent for the life of the config.

SkipperRuntime

Member	Description
SkipperRuntime(config)	Wires the engine from a config (uses the config’s injector — no Guice required).
runtime.workflowFactory.get()	The IWorkflowFactory used to start workflows.
runtime.workflowsService.get()	Bulk instance management.
runtime.skipperSchedulerManager.get()	The scheduler — call start() to drive workflows.
runtime.adminResource.get()	The admin UI JAX-RS resource.

WorkflowOptions

Per-invocation settings passed to the builder’s .workflowOptions(...): executionTimeout (max time to completion) and allowQueryOnNonExistentWorkflow.
