Declarative YAML workflows on Temporal. No SDK boilerplate.

Zigflow is an opinionated, open-source orchestration layer on top of Temporal. Define workflows as YAML, aligned with the CNCF Serverless Workflow specification, then run them with native Temporal reliability.

If you want reliable orchestration with less code and more guardrails, you're in the right place.

Start here

• Core project: zigflow/zigflow
• Docs: zigflow.dev

What you get

• Declarative workflows that compile to fully featured Temporal workflows
