Workflow Core is a lightweight, embeddable workflow engine for .NET Standard that orchestrates long-running processes with state tracking across multiple tasks. It supports fluent C#, JSON, and YAML workflow definitions, pluggable persistence and concurrency providers for multi-node clusters, and saga-style transaction handling with error retry.

Use cases

  • build long-running multi-step processes in .NET
  • implement saga transactions with retry and compensation
  • define workflows in JSON or YAML DSL
  • track state of user onboarding workflows
  • run distributed workflows across multi-node clusters
  • wait for external events mid-workflow

When to choose

  • you need an embeddable workflow engine inside a .NET application
  • you want saga-style error handling and retries for multi-step business processes
  • you need pluggable persistence and multi-node concurrency support

When to avoid

  • you need a stand-alone workflow server with an API rather than a library
  • your project is not on .NET / .NET Standard
  • you need heavyweight BPMN-compliant orchestration
