About
CNCF Serverless Workflow defines a vendor-neutral, open-source, and fully community-driven ecosystem for defining and running DSL-based workflows that target the Serverless technology domain.
This project is composed of:
- Specification for defining DSL-based workflows
- Developer SDKs for different programming languages
- Workflow runtimes supporting the specification
- Developer tooling support for writing DSL-based workflows
CNCF Serverless Workflow is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and was approved as a Cloud Native Sandbox level project on July 14, 2020.

Releases
Latest release Latest release branch Working branch
Core Specification
Serverless Workflow v0.8 0.8.x main
Additional Components
Java SDK 4.0.2.Final 4.0.x main
TypeScript SDK v3.0.0 3.0.x main
Runtimes
Serverless Workflow is open to host open-source runtime implementations that would like to be part and grow alongside the core specification.
Synapse is a Kubernetes-native workflow runtime which supports and is part of the Serverless Workflow eco-system.
SDKs
Serverless Workflow encourages development of SDKs dedicated to help developers with consuming, parsing, validating and testing their workflows that use the Serverless Workflow DSL.
Tooling
In order to enhance developer experience with the specification, we also provide a Visual Studio Code extension. The sources of the extension are found here.
Requirements
To generate the SVG diagram from the YAML or JSON file, you need to have the following tools installed:
Community
We have a growing community working together to build a community-driven and vendor-neutral workflow ecosystem. Community contributions are welcome and much needed to foster project growth.
See here for the list of community members that have contributed to the specification.
To learn how to contribute to the specification reference the 'how to contribute' doc.
