Getting started with Workflow SDK

Vercel Workflow SDK enables teams to build durable workflows and production-ready agents in TypeScript.
Modern applications depend on async systems that are difficult to maintain. Queues, workers, retries, and state management are spread across services, making scale and troubleshooting complex.
Workflow SDK simplifies orchestration.
In this session, we’ll introduce Workflow SDK and show how it brings durability, retries, and observability directly into your application code. You’ll learn the core primitives, how workflows and steps work, and how to use simple directives like "use workflow" and "use step” to make your functions reliable.
We’ll also walk through how to take an existing async function or AI agent and turn it into a durable, resumable workflow in minutes, using plain TypeScript and no additional infrastructure.
What you'll learn

• How to turn any async function into a durable, resumable workflow with two directives

• How to build production-ready AI agents with built-in retries, streaming, and state

• How to replace queues, workers, and schedulers with plain TypeScript
