SummaryAI, from the source post

Cloudflare Workflows, a durable execution engine for building reliable, repeatable multi-step applications, is now in open beta. It manages retries, metrics, and state persistence without requiring users to manage underlying compute and storage infrastructure. The architecture is built on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, with a configuration API and binding shim implemented as stateless Workers. Account Controllers, dedicated Durable Objects per account, manage workflow configurations and delegate operations to workflow engines powered by SQLite-backed Durable Objects. Steps are the core building blocks, each individually retriable and capable of emitting state, which is then durably stored.
