Open Source Alternatives to Google Cloud Workflows

A serverless orchestration engine that combines Google Cloud services and APIs to build applications, process automation, and data and machine learning pipelines. The product allows users to define sequences of service invocations using YAML or JSON, incorporating retry logic, error handling, and stateful checkpointing. It supports event-driven, scheduled, and programmatic triggers, and can wait for asynchronous operations or HTTP callbacks for up to one year. It is designed for developers and IT operators to automate microservice orchestration, business processes, and cloud infrastructure management. The service is deployed as a managed platform with no maintenance requirements, scaling automatically to meet demand while providing integrated logging and monitoring through Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring.
