AwaitStep

AwaitStep turns steps, branches, loops and waits laid out on a canvas into Cloudflare Workflow code, then tracks each deployed version and its runs. The builder runs on two Workers with D1 and a Cloudflare Container as the deploy sandbox, or in Docker.

Each node on the AwaitStep canvas maps to a Cloudflare Workflows primitive: Step with retries and backoff, Sleep and Sleep Until, Branch, Parallel, Loop, Try/Catch, HTTP Request, Wait for Event, Sub-Workflow and Exit, plus custom nodes from a marketplace. The canvas has undo, redo and keyboard shortcuts. A preview panel shows the generated TypeScript, the intermediate representation and the final deployable package, and it updates with every change on the canvas. The output is ordinary code that can be ejected and kept. Deploys start from the UI. AwaitStep generates and bundles the code, installs dependencies and runs wrangler deploy against the account linked on the Connections page. Each workflow keeps a version history with locking and rollback. Run monitoring shows status and errors, with pause, resume and terminate controls. A REST API with scoped keys and an interactive playground covers the same operations. A Cloudflare install consists of two Workers: a web Worker for the React frontend that proxies /api through a service binding, and an API Worker on Hono with D1 and Better Auth. Workflow deploys run inside a Sandbox, a Durable Object backed by a Cloudflare Container that runs Wrangler in an ephemeral environment.

Built for: Developers and teams building on Cloudflare Workflows who want a self-hosted visual editor with versioned deploys and run monitoring.

What you can use it for

• Design Cloudflare Workflows on a canvas instead of writing them by hand
• Review the generated TypeScript before a workflow ships
• Roll back a deployed workflow to an earlier locked version
• Pause, resume or terminate running workflow instances
• Build and publish custom node types for a team

Deploy

• CLI

  Branch main, requires Workers Paid

  The script prompts for a Worker name prefix and optional Resend and OAuth credentials, then creates D1, sets secrets and deploys the API and web Workers. Needs Node.js 22+, pnpm, the wrangler CLI and the Workers Paid plan.

  git clone https://github.com/awaitstep/awaitstep.git
  cd awaitstep
  wrangler login
  ./scripts/cf-install.sh

  Copy
  Docs

Later updates redeploy both Workers with pnpm deploy:cf; new database migrations apply with pnpm d1:migrate in apps/api.

What it needs to run

• D1 databasesawaitstep
• Durable ObjectsSandbox

Good to know

At least one sign-in method must be configured: Resend for magic links, or GitHub or Google OAuth. Each user supplies a Cloudflare API token so AwaitStep can deploy workflows to that account. The docs list a 100 MB request body limit, which comes from Workers. Rate limiting is kept in memory per isolate and is not enforced globally.
