Durable Workflow (formerly Laravel Workflow) is a package for the Laravel web framework that provides tools for defining and managing workflows and activities. A workflow is a series of interconnected activities that are executed in a specific order to achieve a desired result. Activities are individual tasks or pieces of logic that are executed as part of a workflow.
Durable Workflow can be used to automate and manage complex processes, such as agentic workflows (AI-driven), financial transactions, data analysis, data pipelines, microservices, job tracking, user signup flows, sagas and other business processes. By using Durable Workflow, developers can break down large, complex processes into smaller, modular units that can be easily maintained and updated.
Some key features and benefits of Durable Workflow include:
- Support for defining workflows and activities using simple, declarative PHP classes.
- Tools for starting, monitoring, and managing workflows, including support for queuing and parallel execution.
- Built-in support for handling errors and retries, ensuring that workflows are executed reliably and consistently.
- Integration with Laravel's queue and event systems, allowing workflows to be executed asynchronously on worker servers.
- Extensive documentation and a growing community of developers who use and contribute to Durable Workflow.
