Cloudflare Workflows¶
Workflows is Cloudflare's
durable-execution primitive for long-running, retriable,
step-checkpointed workflows built on
Workers
(developers.cloudflare.com/workflows).
Think: background jobs that span hours or days, steps retry
independently, state persists across step boundaries.
Role¶
- Long-running orchestration without keeping a Worker hot.
- Per-step retry / checkpoint semantics.
- Complements Durable Objects for coordination and state.
Local / remote parity¶
Workflows are among the binding types introspectable via
Local Explorer's local
mirror API at /cdn-cgi/explorer/api, backed by
