Introduction
Workflow DevKit, developed by Vercel and the open source community, provides primitives and tooling to build durable, resumable, and observable asynchronous workflows in JavaScript/TypeScript. It helps applications and agents manage long-running processes with reliability and visibility.
Key Features
- Durable state persistence and workflow resumption.
- Built-in observability to trace and debug workflow executions.
- Modular SDK and runtime integrations for easy adoption.
Use Cases
- Backend orchestration for long-lived tasks and retries.
- Agent-driven multi-step workflows requiring suspend/resume semantics.
- Event-driven systems that need strong execution guarantees.
Technical Highlights
- TypeScript-first SDK with extensible plugin architecture.
- Production-ready patterns for reliability and monitoring.
- MIT licensed open-source project encouraging community contributions.
