Java Workflow SDK

Build stateful, long-running, reliable workflows using the Dapr Workflow Java SDK that run on Catalyst. The Dapr Workflow Java SDK provides a powerful way to orchestrate complex business processes from within your Java applications, with support for popular frameworks like Spring Boot and Quarkus.

Prefer to start from a diagram? Use Dapr Skills for Claude Code to generate a runnable Java Dapr Workflow project from a workflow diagram, then iterate with this SDK. For local monitoring of running workflows, use the Dapr Dev Dashboard.
