# Render Workflows

Define, test, and deploy distributed background tasks using the Render Workflows SDK.
Render Workflows rapidly distribute computational work across multiple independent instances.
Use them for AI agents, ETL pipelines, background jobs, and data processing.

**How it works:**
1. **Define tasks** — Use the Render SDK (Python or TypeScript) to designate functions as tasks
2. **Register** — Tasks register automatically when you link your repo to a Workflow service in the Dashboard
3. **Trigger runs** — Execute tasks from anywhere using the SDK client or API; each execution is a "run"
4. **Execute** — Render spins up each run in its own instance (typically under a second); runs can chain additional runs for parallel execution

**Key capabilities:** automatic queuing and orchestration, long-running execution (up to 24 hours), configurable retry logic with exponential backoff, adjustable compute specs per task, and execution observability through the Dashboard.

**Render Workflows are in beta.** The SDK and API may introduce breaking changes.
