<Summary type="rolling" window-days="90" release-count="4">
Render shipped Workflows, a new SDK for building durable, long-running AI jobs and background tasks, now in beta for TypeScript and Python. The release marks a shift toward deeper infrastructure primitives—moving beyond simple deployment to giving developers tools for managing complex, stateful workloads. The company positioned this alongside customer stories showing developers moving from other platforms specifically for background job support and data residency control, signaling where the product is headed as it scales toward millions of active developers.
