Workflow examples

See examples of Workflow configurations in the following pages:

• Calling internal service end-points in a Workflow

  • Manage internal services in a Workflow without exposing authentication outside of your firewall.

• Dev onboarding Workflows

  • Automate and standardize developer onboarding processes.

• Kicking off a Jenkins pipeline in a Workflow

  • Rather than switching to Jenkins to launch a build, you can kick off your pipeline via a Workflow.

• Looping in a JavaScript block and returning specified output

  • Call an external API, parse and loop through the results, then return useful output that can be referenced later in the Workflow.

• Managing Terraform infrastructure via Workflows

  • Manage different aspects of Terraform infrastructure, including provisioning cloud resources, maintaining the resources, and destroying the resource to remove it from your Cortex workspace.

• Rollback a service during an incident

  • Streamline the process of rolling back a service during an incident.

• Run a Humanitec pipeline from Cortex

  • Rather than manually running a pipeline from Humanitec, you can kick off your pipeline via a Workflow.

• Scaffolding a new service with custom data based on user input

  • Streamline the service creation process: Create a repository based on user input, create an entity in Cortex with relevant metadata, and automatically open a Jira ticket for tracking.

• Trigger internal Jenkins jobs from a Workflow using Axon Relay

  • Kick off Jenkins jobs running behind your firewall via an Async HTTP request and Axon Relay.

• Using a Workflow to sync in ArgoCD

  • Rather than manually performing a sync in ArgoCD, you can automate syncs via a Workflow.
