Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by one or more configured computing systems of a configurable workflow service, configuration information from a client of the configurable workflow service for a defined workflow, the configuration information specifying multiple workflow components of the defined workflow and interconnections between at least some of the multiple workflow components; provisioning, by the one or more configured computing systems of the configurable workflow service, multiple computing nodes to each implement at least one of the multiple workflow components, at least one of the multiple computing nodes being provided by the configurable workflow service; and implementing the defined workflow for the client by initiating, by the one or more configured computing systems of the configurable workflow service, performance of defined activities on the multiple computing nodes that correspond to the implemented workflow components, the defined activities including:
