workflow

EXPERIMENTAL API: Simple API to invoke a Restate Workflow from the ingress.

Create a proxy client that allows calling workflow methods directly and synchronously, returning just the output (not wrapped in Response). This is the recommended approach for straightforward request-response interactions.

Client client = Client.connect("http://localhost:8080");

var workflowProxy = client.workflow(OrderWorkflow.class, "order-123");
OrderResult result = workflowProxy.start(new OrderRequest(...));

For advanced use cases requiring asynchronous request handling, access to Response metadata, or invocation options (such as idempotency keys), use workflowHandle instead.
