Run a ByteChef Workflow as a One-Shot Job
The Runtime Job app is ByteChef with everything but the engine taken out: one JVM boots, runs exactly one workflow, and exits with the workflow's status. No database, no broker, no UI. This guide walks through a real run end to end, then covers workflow lookup, connections, exit codes, timeouts, Docker, Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs, CI pipelines, and the sharp edges worth knowing before you ship it.

What you will find on the ByteChef Blog
ByteChef is an open-source platform for API integration, workflow automation and AI agents that you can self-host or embed in your own product. This blog is where the team behind it writes about building with it: the workflows we ship as templates, the agents we run in production, the connectors we add, and the engineering decisions behind the platform. Every post is written by the people who built the feature it describes, and most come with a workflow you can import and adapt.
