Build Orion Services

Page type: Section guide · Audience: Service authors

Use this section after the quickstart. A typical service-authoring sequence is:

1. How to Author Workflows: express the business logic.
2. Configure Channels: expose the workflow over HTTP or Kafka.
3. Connect Databases & APIs: add external systems when needed.
4. Test Workflows Offline: format, lint, dry-run, and add regression cases.
5. Build a Plugin: when a codec or calculation already exists as code, ship it as a sandboxed WebAssembly task function.
6. Version & Roll Out Changes: activate, canary, promote, and roll back changes.
