SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the design and execution of reliable, multi-step workflows within Pikku apps, reducing boilerplate and errors in orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Durable workflow orchestration with pikkuWorkflowFunc and pikkuWorkflowGraph to model sequential and DAG workflows.
  • Step controls including do, sleep, and suspend, plus HTTP wiring for external triggers and status checks.
  • Real-world scenario: orchestrate user signup with validation, email, and data persistence across services.

Quick Start

Define and run a multi-step Pikku workflow using pikkuWorkflowFunc and pikkuWorkflowGraph in your application.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate durable multi-step workflows in a Pikku application?

You can orchestrate durable multi-step workflows in a Pikku application by using pikkuWorkflowFunc and pikkuWorkflowGraph to model sequential steps and graph DAGs with built-in retries and execution state management.

What is durable execution and when do I need it for workflow orchestration?

Durable execution persists the state of multi-step workflows, allowing them to survive failures and resume seamlessly. You need it when orchestrating complex processes like user signups that require reliable validation, email, and data persistence across services.

Can I suspend a Pikku workflow and resume it later through an HTTP trigger?

Yes, you can suspend a Pikku workflow and resume it later. The Skill provides HTTP wiring to integrate external triggers and status checks, allowing workflows to suspend execution and wait for external events or responses.

How do I build a DAG workflow graph with retry and sleep steps?

You build a DAG workflow graph by using pikkuWorkflowGraph to define complex dependencies, combined with do, sleep, and suspend step controls to manage execution flow and apply automatic retries for failed operations.

Does this workflow orchestration approach work for existing Pikku HTTP services?

Yes, it integrates directly with existing Pikku services through HTTP wiring. This allows you to attach durable workflows to current HTTP endpoints, enabling external triggers and status checks without replacing your application architecture.

What are the limitations of using graph DAGs for durable state machines?

Graph DAGs require explicitly defined dependencies between steps, meaning circular dependencies are unsupported. While durable execution handles retries and state persistence, complex conditional branching beyond the defined graph structure may need manual state management.
