Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for maintaining an application through an execution platform. An example method generally includes receiving a first workflow definition of a plurality of workflow definitions associated with an application. The first workflow definition may be a workflow defining a build operation for building the application. The first workflow definition is executed to build the application by retrieving an executable binary from a binary repository, retrieving source code for the application binary from an application source code repository, building the application binary by executing the executable binary on the retrieved source code, and storing the application binary in the binary repository. A second workflow definition is received to execute the application. The second workflow is executed to execute the application by retrieving the application binary from the binary repository, and executing the retrieved application binary to run the application.

Integrated system to distribute and execute complex applications

In one embodiment, a set of two or more workflow definitions is stored, wherein each workflow definition describes a workflow of an application. The set of two or more workflow definitions are used to implement a state machine of the application based at least in part on the two or more workflow definitions.

Execution of workflows in distributed systems

An execution platform comprising a workflow engine and an application engine is provided. A workflow definition associated with an application is received. The workflow definition is used to run an application workflow to perform an action with respect to the application, at least in part by causing an executable binary to be run by the application engine.

A set of two or more workflow definitions is stored, wherein each workflow definition describes a workflow of an application. The set of two or more workflow definitions are used to implement a state machine of the application based at least in part on the two or more workflow definitions.
