## Summary & Motivation Job conclusions hide tests that pass on retry, and the evidence only lived in overwritten PR comments and 7-day artifacts, so recurring flakes couldn't be ranked against how often they ran. - retry sidecars are now named after the Vitest report they came from, so lanes, VMs, and worlds no longer overwrite each other when artifacts merge — and the aggregate comment can attribute a flake to an exact lane - `generate-e2e-flake-history.js` publishes a bounded 30-run history to gh-pages: one series per (lane, app, world, vm, platform) × test, carrying both an executed count and a passed-on-retry count so a rate has a denominator - the reporter always writes the sidecar, which is what lets a clean run be distinguished from a lane that reported no retry telemetry at all ## Test Plan Unit tests added for dimension parsing, denominators, schema validation, and the 30-run window; verified every current report filename maps to explicit dimensions, and a one-run history built from a full artifact set came out around 100 KiB.
Workflow SDK makes TypeScript and JavaScript functions durable. It persists workflow progress, retries failed steps, and provides built-in observability. Workflows can suspend without using compute while they wait.
Quick start
Install the SDK in an existing project:
npm install workflow
Configure the integration for your framework. For example, with Next.js:
// next.config.ts
import { withWorkflow } from 'workflow/next';
export default withWorkflow({});
Then start a workflow from an API route, Server Action, or other server-side code:
import { start } from 'workflow/api';
import { onboardUser } from './workflows/onboard-user';
await start(onboardUser, ['hello@example.com']);
Run your app, then open the local observability UI in another terminal:
npm run dev
npx workflow web
Choose your framework in the getting-started guides.
Note
The
workflowpackage includes its full documentation, so coding agents can read version-matched guides locally fromnode_modules/workflow/docs.
Run anywhere
Local development uses the bundled backend with no configuration. Deploy to Vercel for managed storage, queuing, scaling, and observability. To self-host, use the Postgres backend or implement a custom World.
The Worlds page lists maintainer-curated third-party Worlds, including self-hosted and managed options. Submit your World by updating the Worlds Manifest.
Community
The Workflow SDK community lives on GitHub Discussions, where you can ask questions, share ideas, and show what you have built.
