You can use Workflows to execute services in an order you define: a workflow. Combine the power of Google Cloud services, custom services hosted on Cloud Run functions or Cloud Run, and any HTTP-based API to create flexible serverless applications. Workflows requires no infrastructure management and scales seamlessly with demand, including scaling down to zero.
