Workflows and automation / workflow orchestration

Component Description [#component-description]

Argo Workflows is a Kubernetes-native workflow engine for running multi-step jobs, pipelines, and batch processes.

Why It Is Used [#why-it-is-used]

In BullSequana AI Runtime, Argo Workflows provides the execution layer for structured automation flows that need ordered steps, retries, artifacts, and Kubernetes-native scaling. It is a key building block for document pipelines, event-driven jobs, and operational automations.
