Yes, you are right but I think nobody expect commitment on a date or something like 100% guarantee on these features/issues. People want to understand the direction and the level of commitment to the product itself. These are not huge things when you have a clear communication.

Hey Matt, let’s forget about the date then.

It would be great if you could inform us on these topics in order to clarify the direction you guys want to go.

Should we expect these features or not? (or any other feature you want to add) Instead of a date, maybe you can share the timeline relative to other features. (like “we are prioritizing this one over this one” etc.)

Most of these (bar sharing state across Workflows) will likely land in the next 3-4 months. There's not a strict ordering - some of these are easier than others, others need design time/discussion, etc.

martinhoest•11/18/24, 11:36 PM

I'm unsure of the best way to implement a fan-out pattern using Workflows. I fetch a list of files, and want to process each one. Should I loop over the files and call step.do, awaiting them all with await Promise.all? Or should I trigger a new "file-process" workflow instance for each of them?

1984 Ford Laser•11/19/24, 2:14 AM

I've only just started looking at Workflows, I was wondering if it would be suitable for a process where one step requires collecting data from dozens of endpoints (DOs in this case) and waiting until all are returned before going to the next step. Would this be possible?

M

makrdev•11/19/24, 7:14 AM

You can do both actually and both have different trade-offs. There is a hard limit (256) for maximum number of steps in a single run. So if the list you want to process is bigger than it you can’t. There is no hard limit for workflows (you can run 100 workflows concurrently tho) however you won’t be able to share state between them without external storage (kv etc.)

pao ramen•11/19/24, 10:35 AM

unluckily, workflows have limited amount of steps. So only do step.do for each file if you are 100% sure you are not going to have more than 256 files. Regarding triggering a new process for each, it can be done but it does not support batching nor concurrency. What I do to workaround this is one step, and inside I chunk and send batches to a queue. That queue then triggers the workflows.

Also, since having multiple workflows locally does not work, I recommend having a single workflow that dispatches work.

P

pao ramen•11/19/24, 10:40 AM

This is how I connected the pieces myself. Basically a queue endpoint that will forward events to a workflow. The workflow then dispatches with a given id. It's based on convention (each workflow has an id, and the queue name is that id + '-queue') and it allows me to have some type safety. I then pass an object around, so I can compose workflows as you expect.

oof2win2•11/20/24, 2:31 AM

so i have a workflow where i have an input pdf and i need to run a claude call. the intermediate step however is to transcribe that pdf via a poll-based service. my question therefore is how do i add sleeps into the polling part - the execution should be under 10-15s, so should i just make it a setTimeout function that is awaited?

O

oof2win2•11/20/24, 2:32 AM

like i could probably split into two workflow steps - generate the poll URL and then poll to get the transcript

O

oof2win2•11/20/24, 2:32 AM

but how should i do the sleeps inside the polling

O

oof2win2•11/20/24, 3:18 AM

actually nvm polling it's a promise.all -> pdfs.map -> polling inside bc it allows for caching of the individual pdf steps

Ccloudkite Curious about this as well. Seems a bit of overlap between queues and workflows....

Q

Quinn•11/20/24, 4:34 AM

The main use case difference I see is that queues seem preferable when I have a lot of one task that I need to do for many objects (e.g., I need to send 1000s of notifications but need to respect the rate limits of a provider, I can queue them all up and then chug along and delay as needed.) Workflows seem to be suited for when you have many different tasks that you need to do for one object (e.g., A user subscribed to my PaaS app, so I need to (1) charge their credit card, (2) spin up some infrastructure, (3) send them a welcome email, and so on while appropriately handling errors/retries at every step). You might be using both together if, for instance, your PaaS app has many users signing up; you might have a queue that triggers a workflow. This is all just based off of my own thoughts as I've read through the docs though so I could be way off

telliks•11/20/24, 7:25 AM

I understand that my workflow is not deployed, I just don’t understand what I am supposed to do extra apart from the config I showed and then deploying the whole worker with “wrangler deploy”. From my understanding, having the config is enough and then wrangler should pick up that it should create the configured workflow. This is what my whole question is about. It is not deploying my configured workflow when I deploy the worker, even though the deployment runs successfully.

@Skye If it helps, I could successfully create a brand new workflow with the

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter"

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter"

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter"

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter" command (apart from the empty object issue when

env.MY_WORKFLOW.create()

env.MY_WORKFLOW.create()

env.MY_WORKFLOW.create()

env.MY_WORKFLOW.create() is called locally). Does this command do more than simply scaffolding the worker project on my local file system?

For my existing worker, I just added the workflow config to the toml file. Should I create a workflow with a wrangler CLI command first? Based on all the discussions, I'm under the impression that the wrangler.toml config should be enough and that during deployment wrangler will create a workflow if it doesn't exist yet. Please confirm if this is correct. I know this is not how other cloudflare products like KV or Queues work. You have to create them first and then reference them in the toml file.

Okay, finally got to the bottom of this. My local wrangler version was on the latest version but the one running in CI was on v3.80.0, so it never deployed the workflow

Thanks Skye, Matt, Diogo Ferreira and sdr for trying to help me

ok, in the end I gave up. I faced too many durable execution errors, and queues started to get clogged because

Workflow.create was taking a whole minute. I will keep an eye when workflows get more mature.
