need xstate for stateless backend implementation

[amustafi13]

need help on how i can leverage xstate to perform the following

1. execute some tasks that have depdencies with each other
2. there will be cases where an event is triggered while transitioning to a new state
3. basically have 2 APIs
   • getNextTasks - this will return the task(s) that need to be performed at any level based on the persisted task state in the DB
   • closeTask - this will close the task along with perform some client updates required specific to the task

currently, i am facing issues while re initialising the xstate actor after reaching a certain state since i dont have data which was the last task that was closed due to the stateless nature of the API. Also, I don't want to save the snapshot since the tasks in the workflow will be performed by simultaneously and can have concurrency issues.

I recommend using the transition API: https://stately.ai/docs/transitions#transitioning-state
