Workflow

Overview

If you're looking to manage workflows with reliability and durability, Convex Durable Workflows might just be the solution you need. Imagine executing a series of functions that can endure server restarts while providing customizable retry behaviors for each step. This system supports long-running workflows that can even span over months, giving you the flexibility to cancel them when necessary. With a focus on code-driven workflows rather than static configurations, Convex allows you to observe the status and results of your workflows reactively, enhancing your coding experience.

Designed for efficiency, Convex Durable Workflows combine queries, mutations, and actions into a seamless workflow management system. Whether you're working alone or with a team, these workflows can run asynchronously and be monitored continuously, ensuring you're always in control of your processes.

Features

• Asynchronous Execution: Run workflows in the background, allowing for smooth operations without blocking other processes.
• Reactive Status Observations: Monitor workflow statuses in real time through subscriptions, even during page refreshes.
• Customizable Step Execution: Define specific delays or custom timings for each step, accommodating different requirements for task completion.
• Parallel and Sequential Steps: Choose to run steps in either parallel or sequential order to optimize performance and manage load effectively.
• Deterministic Workflows: Ensure reliability by implementing workflows that are deterministic, primarily operating through calls to other Convex functions.
• Error Handling and Retries: Set specific retry behaviors for each step, alongside a default policy to manage failures gracefully.
• Cleanup Capabilities: Automatically clean up workflows post-completion to maintain a tidy system and free up resources.
• Long-lived Workflow Management: Support for workflows that can run for months, ensuring tasks are sustainable over extended periods of time.
