Stop Scripting, Start Orchestrating: Automate Complex Workflows with a Single API Call

Every developer knows the story. It starts with "just a simple script" to handle a background task. Soon, that script multiplies. You have a tangled web of cron jobs, fragile shell scripts, and makeshift Python workers. They're hard to monitor, impossible to scale, and a nightmare to maintain. What happens when a data source changes? What if you need to process 10,000 jobs instead of 10? The answer is usually late nights and technical debt.

But what if you could outsource the entire headache of execution, scaling, and state management? What if you could transform your most complex data pipelines and business workflows into simple, scalable API calls?

Welcome to the new paradigm of workflow automation. With processing.services.do, you can stop scripting and start orchestrating.

The Hidden Cost of "Just a Simple Script"

The "move fast and break things" approach often leads to a backend held together by scripts. While functional at first, this system quickly accumulates hidden costs:

• Scaling Nightmares: A script that works for 100 records will crumble under the weight of a million. Manually scaling server clusters or managing lambda concurrency is a full-time job in itself.
• Maintenance Black Holes: When a third-party API changes or an internal schema is updated, a cascade of script failures follows. Debugging becomes a forensic investigation.
• Zero Observability: Without a centralized system, how do you handle retries, track failures, or get a high-level view of your processing pipeline? You're often flying blind until a customer complains.
• Brittle Orchestration: Chaining scripts together—where the output of one is the input for another—creates a fragile system where a single point of failure can bring everything to a halt.

This operational overhead steals focus from what truly matters: building core business logic and delivering value.

Intelligent Processing, On-Demand

processing.services.do introduces a fundamental shift. Instead of you managing the how of execution, you simply define the what and trigger it with an API. Our agentic platform handles the rest.

Think of it as Intelligent Processing as a Service. You provide your business logic, and we provide the infrastructure, scalability, and orchestration to run it reliably, every single time.

How It Works: From Code to Scalable Job

The magic lies in abstracting away the infrastructure. The process is elegant and developer-friendly.

Step 1: Define Your Logic as a Containerized Agent

Instead of a loose script on a server, you package your business logic into a containerized "agent." This could be anything—a Python data science model, a Node.js service connector, or a Go-based video renderer. processing.services.do acts as the orchestrator, invoking your agent with a given payload. This agentic workflow approach ensures your code runs in a consistent, portable, and isolated environment.

Step 2: Execute Anything with a Simple API Call

Once your agent is defined, running a job is as simple as making an API request. There's no need to provision servers, configure queues, or set up autoscaling groups.

Here’s how you can launch a complex user data enrichment workflow with just a few lines of TypeScript:

import { Do } from '@do-sdk/core';

const processing = new Do('processing.services.do', {
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
});

// Define and run a data enrichment workflow
const job = await processing.run({
  workflow: 'enrich-user-profile',
  payload: {
    userId: 'usr_12345',
    sources: ['clearbit', 'linkedin', 'internal_db'],
  },
  config: {
    priority: 'high',
    onComplete: 'https://myservice.com/webhook/job-done',
  }
});

console.log(`Job started with ID: ${job.id}`);

In this example, we’re kicking off a high-priority job to enrich a user profile. The platform will manage the entire lifecycle and send a notification to our webhook when the job is complete. This is the power of turning complex operations into a single, clean API call.

Unlock Powerful Use Cases with Scalable Processing

Because you can run virtually any custom logic, the possibilities are endless. Common use cases for our API services include:

• Data Transformation (ETL): Run massive batch processing jobs to clean, transform, and load data between systems without managing a single server.
• Microservice Orchestration: Define complex sagas or sequences of service calls as a single workflow, with built-in state management and error handling.
• Asynchronous Media Processing: Offload heavy tasks like image resizing, video rendering, or PDF generation. The platform handles the long-running job and notifies you upon completion via webhook.
• Financial Calculations & Reporting: Execute thousands of parallel financial models or generate end-of-day reports on a schedule or on-demand.

If you can code it, we can process it—at any scale.

Your Workflow Automation Superpowers

processing.services.do is more than just a job runner; it's a comprehensive platform engineered for modern development needs.

• Effortless, Automatic Scaling: Our platform is designed for high-throughput, parallel data processing. It automatically scales compute resources based on your workload, ensuring your jobs are completed efficiently, whether you're running one task or a million.
• Built for Long-Running Tasks: The ability to provide a webhook for job completion is a game-changer. It allows you to build robust, event-driven, and non-blocking systems that don't need to poll for status updates.
• Centralized Orchestration: Gain a single source of truth for all your processing jobs. Our dashboard and APIs give you complete visibility into job status, logs, and history, eliminating the guesswork.

It's Time to Stop Scripting

The era of brittle, hard-to-maintain backend scripts is over. By embracing an API-driven, agentic approach to workflow automation, you can free your team from operational drudgery and empower them to focus on innovation.
