Argo Workflows is an open-source, Kubernetes-native workflow engine for defining and orchestrating multi-step pipelines as containerized tasks. Platform, data, and ML teams use it to automate batch processing, ETL, model training, and other job graphs that need reliable execution, retries, and clear visibility into run status. Workflows are declared as Kubernetes resources, making them a natural fit for teams standardizing on GitOps and cluster-based operations.
It typically runs inside a Kubernetes cluster and models pipelines as step-based sequences or DAGs, enabling parallel execution and dependency management across container jobs.
Orchestration systems decide where and when workloads run on a cluster of machines (physical or virtual). On top of that, orchestration systems usually help manage the lifecycle of the workloads running on them. Nowadays, these systems are usually used to orchestrate containers, with the most popular one being Kubernetes.
There are many advantages to using Orchestration tools:
Argo Workflows is a Kubernetes-native workflow engine for defining, scheduling, and orchestrating multi-step pipelines as containerized tasks. It is used to automate complex job graphs with strong Kubernetes alignment, reproducibility, and scalable parallel execution.
Argo Workflows is a strong fit for Kubernetes-centric batch processing, data engineering pipelines, and MLOps orchestration where container isolation and cluster-native scaling matter. Trade-offs include the operational overhead of running and upgrading the Argo components and the need to model workflows declaratively, which can be less convenient than code-first orchestrators for some teams. For platform-aligned workflow orchestration concepts and ecosystem context, see https://argoproj.github.io/workflows/.
Common alternatives include Apache Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, and Tekton Pipelines, with selection typically driven by Kubernetes-first requirements versus code-first authoring, scheduling needs, and ecosystem integrations.
Our experience with Argo Workflows helped us build repeatable patterns, templates, and operational tooling for teams running complex, containerized pipelines on Kubernetes. Across delivery engagements, we implemented workflow orchestration that improved reliability, reduced manual steps, and made multi-stage automation easier to operate at scale.
Some of the things we did include:
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across multiple Argo Workflows use-cases—from platform foundations to production operations—and enables us to deliver high-quality Argo Workflows setups that are maintainable, observable, and aligned with real delivery constraints.
