Render Workflows

Render Workflows is an SDK-based product for orchestrating long-running distributed tasks. A workflow service registers Python or TypeScript functions as tasks; each task run executes independently and can chain additional runs.

When choosing between a Workflow, cron job, and background worker, read references/service-types.md.

Use Render SDK 1.x APIs (render>=1.0.1 for Python or @renderinc/sdk version 1.x for TypeScript). Local validation requires Render CLI 2.12.0 or later. Use CLI 2.16.0 or later when using the complete optional scaffolding and CLI deployment flow. Prefer the latest compatible releases.

Render Workflows and its SDKs can introduce breaking changes. Treat the installed SDK version as authoritative for an existing project. For new projects, use the current official documentation and starter templates.

Before generating or changing SDK code, identify the installed versions:

render --version
python -m pip show render
npm ls @renderinc/sdk
