Workflow Getting Started Samples

The getting started with workflow samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of workflows in Agent Framework.

Samples Overview

Foundational Concepts - Start Here

Please begin with the Foundational samples in order. These three samples introduce the core concepts of executors, edges, agents in workflows, streaming, and workflow construction.

Sample	Concepts
Executors and Edges	Minimal workflow with basic executors and edges
Streaming	Extends workflows with event streaming
Agents	Use agents in workflows

Once completed, please proceed to other samples listed below.

Note that you don't need to follow a strict order after the foundational samples. However, some samples build upon concepts from previous ones, so it's beneficial to be aware of the dependencies.

Concurrent Execution

Sample	Concepts
Fan-Out and Fan-In	Introduces parallel processing with fan-out and fan-in patterns

Workflow Shared States

Sample	Concepts
Shared States	Demonstrates shared states between executors for data sharing and coordination

Conditional Edges

Sample	Concepts
Edge Conditions	Introduces conditional edges for dynamic routing based on executor outputs
Switch-Case Routing	Extends conditional edges with switch-case routing for multiple paths
Multi-Selection Routing	Demonstrates multi-selection routing where one executor can trigger multiple downstream executors

These 3 samples build upon each other. It's recommended to explore them in sequence to fully grasp the concepts.

Declarative Workflows

Sample	Concepts
DeclarativeWorkflow	Demonstrates execution of declartive workflows.
