SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Workflow Skill enables developers to design and operate durable, stateful workflows that survive restarts, pause for external events, and coordinate multi-step operations, using Vercel's Workflow SDK.

Core Features & Use Cases

Durable orchestration across time and external events.
Step-based choreography with hooks, retries, and observability.
Practical usage: building long-running processes like order processing, data pipelines, and background tasks.

Quick Start

Define a durable workflow using the Workflow SDK and trigger it from an API route, then probe its lifecycle across restarts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build durable workflows that survive restarts in my web app?▼

You build durable workflows by defining step-based choreography with hooks and retries using the Workflow SDK, ensuring long-running processes like order processing maintain state across unexpected server restarts.

What is durable orchestration and when do I need it for background tasks?▼

Durable orchestration coordinates multi-step operations across time and external events, needed for background tasks requiring deterministic tokens, retries, and pause-resume capabilities within a managed workflow sandbox.

Can I pause a long-running data pipeline to wait for external events?▼

Yes, durable workflows support pausing long-running data pipelines to wait for external events, coordinating multi-step operations across time before resuming execution within the workflow sandbox.

How do I add observability and hooks to a stateful workflow?▼

Observability and hooks are added to stateful workflows by defining step-based choreography, enabling deterministic tokens and retry logic to monitor and control long-running orchestration processes.

Does this workflow orchestration approach work for cloud APIs?▼

Yes, durable workflow orchestration works for cloud APIs by triggering stateful workflows from API routes, supporting long-running background tasks and multi-step operations in scalable cloud environments.
