This post introduces Cloudflare Workflows as a solution to orchestrate complex asynchronous tasks that were previously managed with Cloudflare Queues. It highlights the limitations of a purely queue-based architecture for managing multi-step processes like NCMEC reporting, where manual state management, debugging across multiple queues, and unreliable retries were significant challenges. Cloudflare Workflows are presented as a more structured, observable, and retryable system that simplifies the definition and execution of these workflows, offering real-time visibility and easier troubleshooting.
