Synapse
Serverless Workflow Management System
Project maintained by serverlessworkflow Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham
Synapse is a vendor-neutral, open-source, and community-driven Workflow Management System (WFMS) designed to implement the Serverless Workflow specification.
It enables developers and organizations to define and execute workflows effortlessly using a high-level, intuitive Domain Specific Language (DSL).
With Synapse, you can create powerful workflows that are cloud vendor-agnostic, easily scalable, and highly customizable.
Features
- Easy to Use: The Serverless Workflow DSL is designed for universal understanding, enabling users to quickly grasp workflow concepts and create complex workflows effortlessly.
- Event Driven: Seamlessly integrate events into workflows with support for various formats, including CloudEvents, allowing for event-driven workflow architectures.
- Service Oriented: Integrate seamlessly with service-oriented architectures, allowing workflows to interact with various services over standard application protocols like HTTP, gRPC, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and more.
- FaaS Centric: Invoke functions hosted on various platforms within workflows, promoting a function-as-a-service (FaaS) paradigm and enabling microservices architectures.
- Timely: Define timeouts for workflows and tasks to manage execution duration effectively.
- Fault Tolerant: Easily define error handling strategies to manage and recover from errors that may occur during workflow execution, ensuring robustness and reliability.
- Schedulable: Schedule workflows using CRON expressions or trigger them based on events, providing control over workflow execution timing.
- Interoperable: Integrates seamlessly with different services and resources.
- Robust: Offers features such as conditional branching, event handling, and looping constructs.
- Scalable: Promotes code reusability, maintainability, and scalability across different environments.
- Cross-Platform: Runs on various operating systems, providing flexibility and ease of integration.
