Step Function Workflow Orchestration Library

StepFunction

StepFunction is a Python library for orchestrating complex workflows through a step-by-step process. It allows for easy management of sequential and parallel tasks with robust error handling and branching. The library is inspired by AWS Step Functions but implemented as a Python-native solution to orchestrate workflows across any environment.

Features

• Sequential and Parallel Execution: Run steps one after another or in parallel.
• Error Handling: Define failure paths and handle exceptions gracefully.
• Branching Logic: Direct workflows based on conditions.
• Sub-Step Functions: Modularize workflows by embedding sub-step functions.
• Visualization: Integrated support for visualizing the workflow graph.

Installation

You can install the StepFunction package using pip:

pip install stepfunction

Documentation and Further Reading

Dependencies

The StepFunction package requires the following dependencies:

• graphviz == 0.20.3

These will be automatically installed when you install the package via pip.
