Dapr Workflow is currently in alpha.

Dapr Workflow makes orchestrating logic for messaging, state management, and failure handling across various microservices easier for developers. Prior to adding workflows to Dapr, you'd often need to build ad-hoc workflows behind-the-scenes in order to bridge that gap.
Dapr Workflow makes orchestrating the logic required for messaging, state management, and failure handling across various microservices easier for developers. Dapr Workflows enable you to create long running, fault-tolerant, stateful applications. Prior to Dapr workflows you'd often need to build ad-hoc workflows in custom, hard to write code in order to achieve long running, fault-tolerant, stateful applications.
The durable, resilient Dapr Workflow capability:
- Offers a built-in workflow runtime for driving Dapr Workflow execution
- Provides SDKs for authoring workflows in code, using any language
- Provides HTTP and gRPC APIs for managing workflows (start, query, suspend/resume, terminate)
- Will integrate with future supported external workflow runtime components
- Integrates with any other workflow runtime via workflow components

Dapr Workflows can assist with scenarios like:
Some example scenarios that Dapr Workflows can perform are:
- Order processing involving inventory management, payment systems, shipping, etc.
- HR onboarding workflows coordinating tasks across multiple departments and participants
- Orchestrating the roll-out of digital menu updates in a national restaurant chain
- Image processing workflows involving API-based classification and storage

## Workflow patterns
Dapr Workflows simplify complex, stateful coordination requirements in microservice architectures. The following sections describe several application patterns that can benefit from Dapr Workflows.
