The Workflow Engine is a framework that allows the construction of automated connected sequences of Job executions in Squonk2. It runs as an event-driven service in the Data Manager and manages the execution of Jobs using a YAML-based workflow definition. It uses the Data Manager API and has access to its Instance Launcher to allow it to start Instances (Pods) in the Kubernetes environment.

The engine depends on some of our other external public repositories: -

• squonk2-protobuf

• squonk2-data-manager-job-decoder

  Throughout this documentation the abbreviations DM and AS refer to the Squonk2 Data Manager and Account Sever respectively.
