SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation and management of durable, reliable, and performant serverless functions, abstracting away infrastructure concerns and providing delivery guarantees.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define Workflow Endpoints: Easily expose serverless functions using the serve method.
Reliable Step Execution: Run individual steps with built-in retry mechanisms and error handling.
Workflow Management: Trigger, cancel, and inspect workflow runs using the provided client.
Use Case: Build an order processing system where each step (e.g., payment, inventory update, shipping notification) is a reliable workflow step that automatically retries on failure.

Quick Start

Install the SDK and define a simple workflow endpoint using the serve method.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build reliable serverless workflows with automatic retries in TypeScript?▼

You can build reliable serverless workflows by using a TypeScript SDK to define workflow endpoints and execute individual steps with built-in retry mechanisms and error handling. This abstracts away infrastructure concerns and provides delivery guarantees.

How do I define and serve serverless workflow endpoints?▼

To define and serve serverless workflow endpoints, install the TypeScript SDK and use the `serve` method to easily expose your serverless functions. This enables you to quickly set up reliable function execution without manual infrastructure management.

Can I manage and inspect running serverless workflows programmatically?▼

Yes, you can manage and inspect running serverless workflows programmatically by using the provided workflow client. It enables you to trigger new runs, cancel existing executions, and inspect workflow statuses for management purposes.

Does this TypeScript workflow SDK handle step failures and automatic retries?▼

Yes, the TypeScript workflow SDK handles step failures and automatic retries through its reliable step execution mechanism. Individual steps run with built-in retry mechanisms and error handling to ensure delivery guarantees.

What is a good use case for orchestrating reliable serverless functions?▼

A good use case for orchestrating reliable serverless functions is building an order processing system. Each step, such as payment, inventory update, and shipping notification, becomes a reliable workflow step that automatically retries on failure.

What advanced flow control features are available for serverless orchestration?▼

Advanced flow control features for serverless orchestration include invocation management and context API interactions. These features allow you to manage execution flow, interact with the workflow client, and handle complex orchestration scenarios.
