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.
Serverless Workflow project falls under the CNCF "App Definition and Development" category.
It is a member project of the CNCF Serverless Working Group.

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.
Serverless Workflow encourages development of SDKs dedicated to help developers with consuming, parsing, validating and testing their workflows that use the Serverless Workflow DSL.
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.
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.
