Workflow Automation

The Engine for Critical Business Logic

Most workflow tools are either too simple (No-Code) or too complex (Custom Microservices). dataflows.io bridges this gap by providing a Durable Execution Engine that runs TypeScript code.

Why Code-First?

Visual builders are great for simple tasks, but they become unmanageable for complex business logic. With dataflows.io, you use standard TypeScript to define your workflows. This gives you:

• Version Control: Manage your workflows in Git.
• Testing: Write unit and integration tests for your logic.
• Refactoring: Use your IDE's power to maintain your code.

Durable Execution

The engine persists the state of your workflow after every step. If the server crashes or restarts, the workflow resumes exactly where it left off. This allows you to write code that "sleeps" for days or waits for a human approval without worrying about infrastructure reliability.

// Example: A durable workflow step
await step.run('charge-customer', async () => {
  await stripe.charges.create({ ... });
});

// The workflow state is saved here. 
// If the next step fails, we can retry just that step.
