Synapse is a sophisticated, open-source Workflow Management System (WFMS) designed to be cloud vendor-agnostic and highly extensible. It follows the Serverless Workflow specification and provides a platform for orchestrating complex workflows in a serverless environment.

What is Serverless Workflow?

The Serverless Workflow is a specification for defining workflows that orchestrate services, functions, and other components in a serverless or cloud-native environment. It allows for the creation of workflows that are vendor-neutral, event-driven, and scalable, providing a standardized way to describe complex processes.

Key Concepts

  • Domain Specific Language (DSL): A high-level language designed to define workflows in a human-readable format.
  • Event-Driven: Workflows can be triggered and modified by events, making them responsive to real-time changes.
  • Cross-Platform: The specification is designed to work across different cloud providers, ensuring interoperability and flexibility.

Why Choose Synapse?

  • Scalability: Automatically scales based on demand, leveraging the power of serverless computing.
  • Vendor Neutrality: Works across different cloud platforms, making it an ideal choice for multi-cloud environments.
  • Extensibility: Easily integrates with other services and can be customized to fit specific business needs.

Use Cases

  • Business Process Automation: Streamline business operations by automating complex workflows.
  • Event-Driven Architectures: Build responsive systems that react to real-time events.
  • Microservices Orchestration: Coordinate microservices to perform complex tasks seamlessly.
