Architecture
Workflow where the sequence and decisions are predefined by logic.
Airflow DAGs at Spotify define deterministic data-pipeline workflows where each task (extract → transform → load → validate → alert) executes in a fixed sequence regardless of content variability.
A BPMN-modelled vendor-onboarding workflow in Camunda enforces a fixed sequence: contract upload → compliance check → ERP registration → credential provisioning - with deterministic routing at every gateway.
A bank's wire-transfer workflow follows strict deterministic rules: amount-limit check → fraud-score threshold → dual-approval above $50k → ledger posting - no AI autonomy is permitted in the decision path.
