Cloudflare Workflows

Build durable, long-running workflows that survive restarts and handle retries automatically using Cloudflare Workflows.

When to Use

Workflows are ideal for:

• Multi-step async tasks - Break complex processes into retriable steps
• Human-in-the-loop workflows - Pause execution waiting for external input
• Reliable background jobs - Automatic retries with exponential backoff
• Long-running processes - Minutes to hours of execution with state persistence
• Coordinated API calls - Chain multiple API calls with retry logic

Don't use Workflows for:

• Simple request/response handlers (use Workers)
• Real-time operations requiring <100ms response (use Workers)
• Tasks that complete in <1 second (use Workers directly)
