Graph-Based Workflows

Build scalable multi-agent systems with directed acyclic graphs

Parallel Execution

Parallel execution is the primary advantage of graph-based workflows. By analyzing dependencies, the system automatically identifies tasks that can run concurrently, dramatically reducing total execution time.

πŸ’‘ Key Insight

Parallelism is automatic in graph workflows. You define dependencies, and the execution engine handles scheduling. With 3 workers, our 17-second sequential workflow completed in ~6 secondsβ€”a 3Γ— speedup. This scales to hundreds of tasks in production systems, turning hours into minutes.
