Abstract

A provider network is configured to provide continuous workflow service for an open-ended number of workflows using non-persistent threads. The provider network includes a workflow translator service configured to receive workflows defined according to multiple workflow domain specific languages and translate the received workflows into a particular domain specific language used by the workflow service to execute workflows. In some cases, the provider network includes a workflow handling service and a workflow evaluation service. The workflow handling service may receive indications of task completion events related to respective workflows, and in turn may send non-blocking requests for workflow decisions from the workflow evaluation service. In generating a workflow decision, the workflow evaluation service may determine resources for executing a workflow.
