Cadence

Cadence Workflow is an open-source platform since 2017 for building and running scalable, fault-tolerant, and long-running workflows. This repository contains the core orchestration engine and tools including CLI, schema managment, benchmark and canary.

Getting Started

Cadence backend consists of multiple services, a database (Cassandra/MySQL/PostgreSQL) and optionally Kafka+Elasticsearch. As a user, you need a worker which contains your workflow implementation. Once you have Cadence backend and worker(s) running, you can trigger workflows by using SDKs or via CLI.

1. Start cadence backend components locally

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
