XState creator here!

I love that use-case. We have plenty of developers & companies using XState on the backend, and one of our main goals for XState v5 was to enable more backend use-cases, with custom & composable actor logic, deep persistence, inspection APIs, and actor-first statechart features for modeling more complex actor-actor interaction.

Ultimately, we'd love to be an open-source alternative to AWS Step Functions.
