in general are there any materials that show cases of proven practices that work well with workflows? i.e. is it better to keep interaction with the db inside the workflow or outside of the workflow in the worker itself. or more generally what actions are better to perform inside workflow vs. inside a regular worker?

The less work each step makes, the better. Each step will be retried, persisting results from other steps, but not variables outside of those (so the variable assigned from a step return is maintained, a random variable is not)

I

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 12:24 PM

Do a db step, do a processing step (or even a per item processing, if it’s a loop and it’s not too long to go over the step limit)

I

itsmatteomanf•10/31/24, 12:25 PM

Do consider that you can nest steps, too. If you were to need that.

Isn’t the step limit 250? So I have a step that return an object of 500 items and need to loop over each item to make another external api call and do further processing, I can’t have a nested step inside the for loop to process each item? Since it sounds like I’d hit the step limit

Exactly, yes. The limit is 255 steps.

Do remember that you still have the 1k subrequest limit that applies and that retries will be counted against this limit.

just to clarify, it means that if you have 5k queued (scheduled workflows pass to queued, once they are intended to be run), 100 will be initially instructed to run, and as they complete, more will run?

You can’t deploy a Workflow as part of a Pages app (which is likely what the default Remix build is trying to do).

Deploy the Workflow separately (as a Worker) and bind to it from your Pages app / call it over HTTP.
