Workflow steps now expose retry attempt number via step context

WorkflowsCloudflare · Developer platform

Cloudflare Workflows allows you to configure specific retry logic for each step in your workflow execution. Now, you can access which retry attempt is currently executing for calls to step.do():

await step.do("my-step", async (ctx) => { // ctx.attempt is 1 on first try, 2 on first retry, etc. console.log(`Attempt ${ctx.attempt}`); });

You can use the step context for improved logging & observability, progressive backoff, or conditional logic in your workflow definition.

Note that the current attempt number is 1-indexed. For more information on retry behavior, refer to Sleeping and Retrying.

  1. Create Workflow instance batches by count or list

    createBatch() now accepts an options object that creates up to 100 Workflow instances in one call. The result lists the created instances and explains why any others were not created.

  2. Call Workflows declared in `exports` through `ctx.exports`

    A Worker can now call the Workflows it declares in the exports field of its Wrangler configuration through ctx.exports. You no longer need a workflows binding to call a Workflow from the Worker that defines it.

  3. Declare Workflows in the `exports` configuration

    You can now declare the Workflows a Worker defines in the exports field of your Wrangler configuration file. Previously, a Worker could only define a Workflow through a workflows binding, even when the Worker never called the Workflow itself.

  4. Delete Workflow instances individually or in batches

    You can now delete one or up to 100 Workflow instances and their stored state via the Workflows API or Wrangler 4.125.0 and later. Deleting an instance frees its stored state and stops its current execution. Storage billing is based on the average daily peak.

  5. Stream Workflow instance events in your Worker or via the API with.subscribe()

    You can now stream Workflow instance events via WorkflowInstance.subscribe() and the GET /subscribe API endpoint. Workers and HTTP clients can react to workflow and step events, including attempts, sleeps, waits, and rollbacks, without polling for instance status.
