26
-
27
- ## Import
28
-
29
- ```typescript lineNumbers
30
- import { // [!code highlight]
31
- hydrateResourceIO, // [!code highlight]
32
- observabilityRevivers, // [!code highlight]
33

37
- ```
38
-
39
- ## Data Hydration
40
-
41
- ### hydrateResourceIO()
42
-
43
- Deserialize step or run data that was serialized using the [devalue](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/devalue) format. Required to display step input/output in your UI.
44
-
45
- ```typescript lineNumbers
46
- import { hydrateResourceIO, observabilityRevivers } from "workflow/observability"; // [!code highlight]
47
-
48
- const step = await world.steps.get(runId, stepId);
49
- const hydrated = hydrateResourceIO(step, observabilityRevivers); // [!code highlight]
50
- console.log(hydrated.input, hydrated.output);
51
- ```
52
-
53
- **Parameters:**
54
-
55
- | Parameter | Type | Description |
56
- |-----------|------|-------------|
57
- | `resource` | `Step \| WorkflowRun` | The step or run with serialized data |
58

73
- import { parseStepName } from "workflow/observability"; // [!code highlight]
74
-
75
- const parsed = parseStepName("step//./src/workflows/order//processPayment"); // [!code highlight]
76
- // parsed?.shortName → "processPayment"
77
- // parsed?.moduleSpecifier → "./src/workflows/order"
78
- ```
79
-
80
- ### parseWorkflowName()
81
-
82
- ```typescript lineNumbers
83

95
- // parsed?.shortName → "User"
96
- ```
97
-
98
- ## Encryption

- ```typescript lineNumbers
127
- import { getEncryptionKeyForRun, hydrateResourceIOWithKey } from "workflow/observability"; // [!code highlight]
128
-
129
- const key = await getEncryptionKeyForRun(runId); // [!code highlight]
130
- const hydrated = hydrateResourceIOWithKey(step, key); // [!code highlight]
131
- ```
132

21
-
22
- <Callout type="warn">
23
- These methods are used internally by the Workflow SDK to dispatch execution. You do not need to call them in normal operations — use [`start()`](/docs/api-reference/workflow-api/start) to trigger workflows instead. Direct queue access is only needed if you programmatically create a run via `world.events.create()` with a `run_created` event and need to kick off its initial execution, or for debugging resumption of a flow or step route.

45
- **Returns:** `string` — The current deployment ID
46
-
47
- ### queue()
48
-
49
- Dispatch a message to a named queue. The message payload is an internal SDK type (`WorkflowInvokePayload`, `StepInvokePayload`, or `HealthCheckPayload`).
50
-
51

- A **World** is the abstraction that allows workflows to run on any infrastructure. It handles workflow storage, step execution queuing, and data streaming. This guide explains the World interface and how to implement your own.
16
-
17
- <Callout>
18
- Before building a custom World, check the [Worlds Ecosystem](/worlds) page — there may already be a community implementation for your infrastructure.
19

22

23
- </Callout>
24
-
25
- ## What is a World?
26
-
27
- A World connects workflows to the infrastructure that powers them. The World interface abstracts three core responsibilities:
28
-
29
- 1. **Storage** — Persisting workflow runs, steps, hooks, and the event log
30
- 2. **Queue** — Enqueuing and processing workflow and step invocations
31
- 3. **Streamer** — Managing real-time data streams between workflows and clients
32
-
33
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
34
- ```typescript
35
- interface World extends Storage, Queue, Streamer {
36
- start?(): Promise<void>;
37
- close?(): Promise<void>;
38
- getEncryptionKeyForRun?(run: WorkflowRun): Promise<Uint8Array | undefined>;
39
- getEncryptionKeyForRun?(runId: string, context?: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<Uint8Array | undefined>;
40
- }
41
- ```
42
-
43
- The optional `start()` method initializes background tasks (for example, queue polling). The optional `close()` method releases resources like connection pools and listeners. The optional `getEncryptionKeyForRun()` method returns the AES-256 key used to encrypt data for a run; if it is not implemented, encryption is disabled.
44
-
45
- ## The Event Log Model
46
-
47
- Workflow storage is built on an **append-only event log**. All state changes happen through events — you never modify runs, steps, or hooks directly. Instead, you create events that update the materialized state.
48
-
49
- Events fall into three categories: run lifecycle events, step lifecycle events, and hook lifecycle events. See the [Event Sourcing](/docs/how-it-works/event-sourcing) documentation for a complete list of event types and their semantics.
50
-
51
- ## Storage Interface
52
-
53
- The Storage interface provides read access to materialized entities and write access through events:
54
-
55
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
56
- ```typescript
57
- interface Storage {
58
- runs: {
59
- get(id: string, params?: GetWorkflowRunParams): Promise<WorkflowRun>;
60
- list(params?: ListWorkflowRunsParams): Promise<PaginatedResponse<WorkflowRun>>;
61
- };
62
-
63
- steps: {
64
- get(runId: string | undefined, stepId: string, params?: GetStepParams): Promise<Step>;
65
- list(params: ListWorkflowRunStepsParams): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Step>>;
66
- };
67
-
68
- events: {
69
- // Create a new workflow run (runId may be client-provided or null for server generation)
70
- create(runId: string | null, data: RunCreatedEventRequest, params?: CreateEventParams): Promise<EventResult>;
71
-
72
- // Create an event for an existing run
73
- create(runId: string, data: CreateEventRequest, params?: CreateEventParams): Promise<EventResult>;
74
-
75
- list(params: ListEventsParams): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Event>>;
76
- listByCorrelationId(params: ListEventsByCorrelationIdParams): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Event>>;
77
- };
78
-
79
- hooks: {
80
- get(hookId: string, params?: GetHookParams): Promise<Hook>;
81
- getByToken(token: string, params?: GetHookParams): Promise<Hook>;
82
- list(params: ListHooksParams): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Hook>>;
83
- };
84
- }
85
- ```
86
-
87
- ### Key Implementation Details
88
-
89
- **Event Creation:** When `events.create()` is called, your implementation must:
90
- 1. Persist the event to the event log
91
- 2. Atomically update the affected entity (run, step, or hook)
92
- 3. Return both the created event and the updated entity
93
-
94
- **Run Creation:** For `run_created` events, the `runId` parameter may be a client-provided string or `null`. When `null`, your World generates and returns a new `runId`.
95
-
96
- **Hook Tokens:** Hook tokens must be unique. If a `hook_created` event conflicts with an existing token, return a `hook_conflict` event instead.
97
-
98
- **Automatic Hook Disposal:** When a workflow reaches a terminal state (`completed`, `failed`, or `cancelled`), automatically dispose of all associated hooks to release tokens for reuse.
99
-
100
- ## Queue Interface
101
-
102
- The Queue interface handles asynchronous execution of workflows and steps:
103
-
104
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
105
- ```typescript
106
- interface Queue {
107
- getDeploymentId(): Promise<string>;
108
-
109
- queue(
110
- queueName: ValidQueueName,
111
- message: QueuePayload,
112
- opts?: QueueOptions
113
- ): Promise<{ messageId: MessageId }>;
114
-
115
- createQueueHandler(
116
- queueNamePrefix: QueuePrefix,
117
- handler: (message: unknown, meta: { attempt: number; queueName: ValidQueueName; messageId: MessageId }) => Promise<void | { timeoutSeconds: number }>
118
- ): (req: Request) => Promise<Response>;
119
- }
120
- ```
121
-
122
- ### Queue Names
123
-
124
- Queue names follow a specific pattern:
125
- - `__wkf_workflow_<name>` — For workflow invocations
126
- - `__wkf_step_<name>` — For step invocations
127
-
128
- ### Message Payloads
129
-
130
- Two types of messages flow through queues:
131
-
132
- **Workflow Invocations:**
133
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
134
- ```typescript
135
- interface WorkflowInvokePayload {
136
- runId: string;
137
- traceCarrier?: Record<string, string>; // OpenTelemetry context
138
- requestedAt?: Date;
139
- }
140
- ```
141
-
142
- **Step Invocations:**
143
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
144
- ```typescript
145
- interface StepInvokePayload {
146
- workflowName: string;
147
- workflowRunId: string;
148
- workflowStartedAt: number;
149
- stepId: string;
150
- traceCarrier?: Record<string, string>;
151
- requestedAt?: Date;
152
- }
153
- ```

- ## Streamer Interface
163
-
164
- The Streamer interface enables real-time data streaming:
165
-
166
- {/* @skip-typecheck - interface definition, not runnable code */}
167
- ```typescript
168
- interface Streamer {
169
- streamFlushIntervalMs?: number;
170
-
171
- streams: {
172
- write(
173
- runId: string,
174
- name: string,
175
- chunk: string | Uint8Array
176
- ): Promise<void>;
177
-
178
- writeMulti?(
179
- runId: string,
180
- name: string,
181
- chunks: (string | Uint8Array)[]
182
- ): Promise<void>;
183
-
184
- close(runId: string, name: string): Promise<void>;
185
-
186
- get(
187
- runId: string,
188
- name: string,
189
- startIndex?: number
190
- ): Promise<ReadableStream<Uint8Array>>;
191
-
192
- list(runId: string): Promise<string[]>;
193
-
194
- /** Paginated snapshot of stream chunks. */
195
- getChunks(
196
- runId: string,
197
- name: string,
198
- options?: { limit?: number; cursor?: string }
199
- ): Promise<{
200
- data: { index: number; data: Uint8Array }[];
201
- cursor: string | null;
202
- hasMore: boolean;
203
- done: boolean;
204
- }>;
205
-
206
- /** Lightweight metadata: tail index and completion flag. */
207
- getInfo(
208
- runId: string,
209
- name: string
210
- ): Promise<{ tailIndex: number; done: boolean }>;
211
- };
212
- }
213
- ```
214
-
215
- Streams are identified by a combination of `runId` and `name`. Each workflow run can have multiple named streams.
216
- `writeMulti()` is an optional optimization for batching multiple writes.
217
-
218
- `getChunks` returns a paginated snapshot of currently available chunks (unlike `get` which returns a live `ReadableStream` that waits for new chunks). `getInfo` returns the tail index (last chunk index, 0-based, or `-1` when empty) and whether the stream is complete — useful for resolving negative `startIndex` values into absolute positions.

- ## Reference Implementations
221
-
222
- Study these implementations for guidance:
223
-
224
- - **[Local World](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/tree/main/packages/world-local)** — Filesystem-based, great for understanding the basics
225
- - **[Postgres World](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/tree/main/packages/world-postgres)** — Database-backed with graphile-worker for queuing
226
-
227
- ## Testing Your World
228
-
229
- Workflow SDK includes an E2E test suite that validates World implementations. Once your World is published to npm:
230
-
231
- 1. Add your world to [`worlds-manifest.json`](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/blob/main/worlds-manifest.json)
232
- 2. Open a PR to the Workflow repository
233
- 3. CI will automatically run the E2E test suite against your implementation
234
-
235
- Your world will then appear on the [Worlds Ecosystem](/worlds) page with its compatibility status and performance benchmarks.
236
-
237
- ## Publishing Your World
238
-
239
- 1. **Package your World** — Export a default World instance from your package
240
- 2. **Publish to npm** — Publish your package to npm
241
- 3. **Add to the manifest** — Submit a PR adding your world to [`worlds-manifest.json`](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/blob/main/worlds-manifest.json)
242
- 4. **Document configuration** — Clearly document any required environment variables
243
-
244
- ```json
245
- // worlds-manifest.json entry
246
- {
247
- "package": "your-world-package",
248
- "repository": "https://github.com/you/your-world",
249
- "docs": "https://github.com/you/your-world#readme"
250
- }
251
- ```
