Durable multi-step workflows → @convex-dev/workflow

When the task is "do step A, then B, then C, and retry each step independently if it fails" — a pipeline, ETL, or orchestration that must survive crashes — use the workflow component. Do NOT hand-roll it with a jobs table + chained ctx.scheduler.runAfter calls: that reinvents durability, loses per-step retry/backoff, and (measured) scores worse than a plain implementation. Copy this pattern.

Wire the component

// convex/convex.config.ts
import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
import workflow from "@convex-dev/workflow/convex.config";
const app = defineApp();
app.use(workflow);
export default app;

Define the workflow — one step.run* call per stage, retried independently
