A **workflow engine** is a software component that manages and executes defined sequences of tasks, called workflows. It allows you to model business processes, automate repetitive tasks, and coordinate actions across systems or modules. By decoupling process logic from application code, workflow engines make your systems more flexible, maintainable, and adaptable to change.

### Real-World Examples
16
+
17
+
-**Order Processing**: E-commerce platforms use workflows to handle order validation, payment, inventory checks, shipping, and notifications.
18
+
-**Document Approval**: HR or legal departments automate document review, approval, and archiving.
19
+
-**CI/CD Pipelines**: DevOps tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI define build, test, and deploy workflows.
Inspired by the best ideas from many languages and platforms, **Workflow Mastery** aims to be a universal, modular, and extensible workflow engine. While it integrates seamlessly with Laravel, its core logic is designed to be framework-agnostic, so you can use it anywhere.

## Design Philosophy & Best Practices
38
+
39
+
-**Separation of Concerns**: Keep workflow definitions and execution logic outside of business modules.
40
+
-**Extensibility**: Support custom actions, conditions, and event hooks.
41
+
-**Portability**: Core logic should not depend on Laravel or any specific framework.
42
+
-**Declarative DSL**: Define workflows in a simple, human-readable format (YAML, JSON, PHP array, etc).
- Allow dynamic workflow loading (from DB, files, or code).
111
+
- Support async and parallel steps.
112
+
- Provide adapters for different frameworks.
113
+
- Make the engine observable (events, logs, metrics).
