Definition

A workflow engine orchestrates complex, multi-step business processes with support for conditional branching, parallel execution, error handling, retries, and human approvals. Cloud-native workflow engines include AWS Step Functions, Google Cloud Workflows, and Azure Logic Apps.

Open-source alternatives like Apache Airflow and Temporal are popular for data engineering and microservice coordination.
