Build and deploy workflows visually.
A self-hosted visual builder that generates and deploys code directly to Cloudflare Workflows. No proprietary engines — just your code.

Visual CanvasDrag and drop steps, branches, loops, parallel paths, error handling, and more. See your entire workflow structure at a glance — no YAML, no config files.

|
Live Code PreviewEvery change on the canvas instantly reflects in the code preview. Toggle between generated TypeScript, IR, and the final deployable package. What you see is what gets deployed.
|
Deploy & MonitorDeploy directly to Cloudflare from the UI. AwaitStep handles code generation, bundling, dependency installation, and deployment. Track version history, lock versions, roll back.

Building Blocks
Composable nodes that map directly to Cloudflare Workflow primitives.
| Node | Description | Node | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step | Execute custom code with retries and backoff | Parallel | Run steps concurrently |
| Sleep | Pause for a duration (up to 365 days) | Loop | Repeat steps (forEach, while, or count) |
| Sleep Until | Pause until a specific timestamp | Try / Catch | Error handling with try/catch/finally |
| Branch | Conditional execution paths | Exit | Break from a loop or return from workflow |
| HTTP Request | Make HTTP calls with configurable retries | Wait for Event | Pause until an external event arrives |
| Sub-Workflow | Trigger another workflow | Custom | User-defined node types from the marketplace |
Features
| Drag & Drop Canvas — Visual workflow designer with intuitive controls | One-Click Deploy — Deploy directly to Cloudflare from the UI | 30+ Node Types — Composable building blocks for any workflow |
| Node Marketplace — Build, publish, and install custom nodes | REST API — Full API with scoped keys and interactive playground | Self-Hosted — Run on your infra — Docker, VPS, or Cloudflare |
Open Source & Self-Hosted
AwaitStep is fully open source under Apache 2.0. Self-host on Docker, a VPS, or Cloudflare — your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Run the entire stack on Cloudflare. API on Workers, builds in sandboxed containers, data in D1.
| Edge API | Sandbox Builds | D1 Database |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Workers | Isolated containers | SQLite at the edge |
| 30+ | Apache 2.0 | 5 min |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in node types | Open source license | Self-host setup time |
Quickstart
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 20, pnpm >= 9
