Workflows
Gateway provides three approved-operation surfaces. Choose the smallest surface that safely represents the work instead of exposing arbitrary backend access.
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| A fixed, parameterized endpoint operation | Template |
| A stable application-facing contract over an approved operation | Published API |
| A durable, multi-step process with lifecycle state | Workflow |
Lifecycle
- Configure the endpoint and its access policy.
- Create the approved template or published API shape.
- Create or update a workflow definition where orchestration is required.
- Inspect workflow versions and optionally plan a version before execution.
- Start a workflow run with
POST /workflows/{workflow}/runs. - Inspect, cancel, resume, fork, export, or import a run through the workflow-run APIs.
