Workflow Orchestration across clouds
Managed state machines - Step Functions, Logic Apps, Workflows - that call services in order, retry the right steps, and keep a record of every run.
4 verified modules, 3 of them live-tested apply→verify→destroy; the rest are static-validated, live-test pending.
Compare by provider
| Provider | Module | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Cloud | A Flow That Says Whether It Can Call Anything Before You Run It | static-validated |
| AWS | Step Functions State Machine | ✓ live-tested |
| Azure | Logic App (Consumption) Workflow | ✓ live-tested |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Workflows (least-privilege identity) | ✓ live-tested |
How to choose
Compare how the definition is written (JSON states, a designer, YAML), what the workflow runs as and whether each step can be scoped, how long a run may last, and what an execution history costs to keep: the record of every run is the reason to use these, and also the bill.
When not to use
A workflow is code with a worse diff. Keep the definition in version control with the module, and treat a retry policy as a decision per step, because retrying a payment is not the same as retrying a lookup.
