For teams shipping workflow APIs

Build workflows faster - not infrastructure

toAPI lets you define, expose, and operate workflow APIs with retries, RBAC, rate limits, idempotency, secrets, and tenant isolation built in.

Built for engineering, platform, and security teams shipping multi-tenant workflows.

Why

Common problems when workflow APIs hit production

1. Reliability breaks first

Retries, replays, and idempotency are missing — so failures create duplicate side effects.

2. Security gets bolted on later

RBAC, secrets, and tenant isolation end up scattered across services and configs.

3. Costs become unpredictable

Without limits per tenant, API key, or workflow, usage grows faster than control.

4. Operations stay manual

When runs fail, teams need replay, logs, and observability instead of custom recovery scripts.

Features

Built in for production, security, and scale

Built in for production

  • Retries, DLQ, and replay — recover safely from failed runs
  • Idempotency — prevent duplicate execution and side effects
  • Rate limits and quotas — control usage by tenant, API key, or workflow

Built in for security

  • RBAC and audit events — track who changed what
  • Secrets management — keep credentials out of configs and code
  • Tenant isolation — enforce clear boundaries for customer-facing APIs

Built in for scale

  • Flexible triggers — run from REST, gRPC, queues, or events
  • Versioned workflows — evolve without losing control
  • PII-aware controls — mask sensitive fields where policy requires it

How it works

High-level flow in 3 steps

01

Define the workflow

Describe steps, triggers, and policies in one workflow definition.

apiVersion: toapi.io/workflow.v0
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  slug: payments-sync
entrypoint: validate
steps:
  - id: validate
    type: transform
02

Deploy as an API

Expose it with built-in retries, limits, RBAC, secrets, and tenant controls.

$ toapi workflow deploy ./payments-sync.yaml
OK: Workflow is live on /api/workflow/payments-sync
03

Run and operate

Inspect runs, replay failures, and keep production behavior predictable.

$ toapi workflow replay-stage --run run_2026_03_09 --stage enrich_customer
OK: Stage replay completed successfully
