workflows seem a lot more streamlined an maintainable then doing the tasks independently, especially if they involve multiple workers or services.

theres also some things unique like the r2 trigger that could be really usefull on its own

Hello, is there any way to start multiple different workflows in batch ( using only one request ) I know we can start multiple invocation of the same workflow using the createBatch but IDK about different ones

as in a workflow invoking another workflow?

HI! Sorry for the inconvenience. Our edge runtime update that brings support for

is unfortunately arriving late. It is currently in our staged release process, and should be out very soon. It will make an announcement here once it fully propagated.

Is workflows now out of beta? OK to use in production?

Yes! https://blog.cloudflare.com/workflows-ga-production-ready-durable-execution/

Cloudflare Workflows is now GA: production-ready durable execution

Workflows — a durable execution engine built directly on top of Workers — is now Generally Available. We’ve landed new human-in-the-loop capabilities, more scale, and more metrics: just what you need for a production-ready service.

martinklepsch•4/9/25, 3:57 PM

Somewhat related to the above, is logging from workflows captured in the worker logs?

I have this in

Jadugar_Jaggu•4/9/25, 4:49 PM

Hey, I think there might be a bug with Cloudflare Workers.
Whenever I update any binding (like a KV namespace) from the dashboard and deploy the changes, the binding for the Workflow gets removed automatically. This seems unintended and could cause issues during deployment.

Matt Silverlock•4/9/25, 5:20 PM

If you are mixing the dashboard + wrangler you can run into conditions like this - strongly recommend using one model to deploy. cc @Sid Chatterjee if we can make sure Workflows bindings stick here.

JulianD•4/9/25, 11:42 PM

hey guys how do I reduce my storage metric in workflows? I see that I have over 5GB of storage used (!!) and I do not need this but I don't see any option to delete old instances or even configure the workflow API to set a smaller retention period. Any ideas?

ccarse•4/10/25, 3:12 AM

So I'm building a tool that runs a workflow when a file gets placed in an r2 bucket. All working well. I'm trying to build a dashboard to show the upload events, trigger retries, etc.. The problem I'm running into is that env.WORKFLOW.get(<instanceId>) doesn't work for me in dev. Is this intended?

So after further investigation, it turns out any time the dev server reloads (any code change), every workflow instance disappears. This is really annoying. Is this expected?

You can repro with the workflows starter template easily.

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

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

Just run it, go to localhost:8787, record the instanceId and note that localhost:8787?instanceId=<id> shows details of the instance, add a console.log call anywhere and save, now localhost:8787?instanceId=<id> gives

instance.not_found

instance.not_found

error.

Aster•4/10/25, 3:48 PM

Hello, do you have a cron mode for workflows? Let's say; start workflow A every 1st monday of the month?

fredviken•4/10/25, 3:50 PM

Hi! Has anyone been able to get cross-script to work locally? I've seen other people encounter this issue but not seen any solutions

✘ [ERROR] Worker "workflows:s3-update-status"'s binding "USER_WORKFLOW" refers to a service "core:user:integrations", but no such service is defined.

✘ [ERROR] Worker "workflows:s3-update-status"'s binding "USER_WORKFLOW" refers to a service "core:user:integrations", but no such service is defined.

It works when called from the same worker, and service bindings between the workers seem to work fine, it's only an issue with the cross-script bindings.

ccarse•4/10/25, 4:55 PM

I mean, I think there's a big gap between never letting things expire and expiring everything for a single character code change anywhere in the project right?

And let me be clear, this is a single

wrangler dev

wrangler dev

invocation.

Like one option is that you could have a TTL on workflow instances that defaulted to like a day or something?

Matt Silverlock•4/10/25, 4:57 PM

I can't reproduce that in the same invocation (nor should I be able to): instances persist during the running

wrangler dev

wrangler dev

run:

Matt Silverlock•4/10/25, 4:57 PM

If you change the code, that's a new invocation (reload of all state)

ccarse•4/10/25, 4:58 PM

Oh I wouldn't call that a new invocation, I only invoked it once.

Matt Silverlock•4/10/25, 4:58 PM

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm also explaining why this is the case

ccarse•4/10/25, 4:58 PM

Like, for example, my kv data doesn't disappear on each invocation right?

Matt Silverlock•4/10/25, 4:58 PM

Will chat w/ the team about options to opt-in to persistency here

ccarse•4/10/25, 4:58 PM

Why do instances?

Cccarse Why do instances?

Matt Silverlock•4/10/25, 4:59 PM

Instances aren't just state on disk (unlike KV pairs) - again, understand the frustration but not the same thing.

ccarse•4/10/25, 5:02 PM

I really like the products you all are putting out but it's frustrating how every product behaves differently in terms of local vs remote vs what is default and what's available. I know it's early days for workflows but just wanted to give the feedback.

ccarse•4/10/25, 5:29 PM

Is there a way to list recently invoked workflow instances in dev? I can use the api in prod but that doesn't work for dev.

MMatt Silverlock Show your `wrangler` config and code.

fredviken•4/10/25, 5:47 PM

These are the wrangler configs. the workflow is just a simple placeholder one for now with a console log and sleep, but it works like expected when called in the same worker. But the second i add the binding in the other worker it crashes, despite being able to connect using service bindings

Will this make only one request? If not, then there's a possibility that one of the requests might fail.

Ok, any workflows action, even creating workflows from inside a worker (via binding) throws errors
