Abstract
Techniques for de-centralized execution of workflows are disclosed. A system executes a sequence of jobs in a workflow. Each job includes application code to perform a defined set of functions. Each job includes wrapper code at one or both ends of the application code. The system executes the sequence of jobs by iteratively spinning up a virtual machine, loading workflow data to be used by application code, executing the application code, and storing modified workflow data. The virtual machine executing one job triggers the next virtual machine to execute the next job in the workflow, without scheduling the next job by a centralized job scheduler. Upon spinning up the next virtual machine, a virtual machine executing a preceding job shuts itself down.
