Mastering Workflow Definition: Building Logic with the .do SDK

The digital landscape demands agility. Businesses need to move faster, automate more, and expose their core capabilities programmatically. This is where the concept of Services-as-Software shines, allowing you to package complex business logic into consumable, API-driven services. The .do platform is at the forefront of this evolution, empowering developers to build, deploy, and integrate powerful agentic workflows with ease.

At the heart of creating Services-as-Software on the .do platform is the ability to define and build your business logic using the .do SDK. Think of the SDK as your toolkit for transforming intricate business processes into robust, automated workflows powered by AI agents.

From Business Logic to Agentic Workflows

Traditionally, automating business processes could involve complex systems, custom code, and brittle integrations. The .do platform simplifies this by introducing the concept of Agentic Workflows. These are automated processes orchestrated by AI agents, designed to perform specific tasks and interact with various systems.

When you build Services-as-Software on .do, you're essentially packaging these Agentic Workflows as a service with a defined API. This makes your business capabilities discoverable, accessible, and reusable across your organization and beyond.

The Power of the .do SDK

The .do SDK provides the tools and structure you need to define these workflows. It allows you to:

• Define Workflow Steps: Clearly outline the sequence of actions your agents will take. This could involve data retrieval, decision-making, task execution, or interaction with external services.
• Integrate External Tools: Seamlessly connect your workflows to existing databases, APIs, and third-party applications, extending the capabilities of your services.
• Set Up APIs: Define the endpoints and parameters that will expose your workflow as a consumable service.
• Manage and Monitor: Utilize the SDK and the developer portal to manage deployed services, monitor their performance, and track agent activity.

The SDK provides a developer-friendly way to build these workflows directly within your existing development environment. This means you can leverage familiar tools and practices while building sophisticated automated services.

Building Your First Service-as-Software

Let's consider a simple example: automating a customer onboarding process. Using the .do SDK, you could define a workflow that:

1. Receives new customer data via an API endpoint.
2. Uses an AI agent to verify the data against external sources.
3. Triggers an action to provision the customer in a CRM system.
4. Sends a welcome email using an integrated email service.

This entire process, defined using the SDK, becomes a cohesive Service-as-Software accessible via a single POST request to an /onboard endpoint, as shown in the code example:

{
  "serviceId": "svc_abc123",
  "name": "Customer Onboarding",
  "description": "Automates the customer onboarding process.",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "endpoints": [
    {
      "path": "/onboard",
      "method": "POST",
      "description": "Initiates the onboarding flow."
    }
  ]
}

This is just a basic illustration. The complexity and capabilities of your Agentic Workflows are limited only by your business needs and your creativity with the SDK.

Transform Your Business with Services-as-Software

By mastering workflow definition with the .do SDK, you unlock the potential to:

• Accelerate Development: Encapsulate complex logic into reusable services, reducing redundant coding.
• Reduce Integration Complexity: Standardize access to business functions through well-defined APIs.
