This feature is not yet available in workflow-py. See our Roadmap for feature parity plans and Changelog for updates.

Just like you can execute multiple JavaScript promises at the same time using Promise.all, you can run multiple workflow steps at the same time:

const [result1, result2, result3] =
  await Promise.all([
    ctx.run("parallel-step-1", async () => { ... }),
    ctx.run("parallel-step-2", async () => { ... }),
    ctx.run("parallel-step-3", async () => { ... }),
  ])

In a complete code example, your workflow could look like this:

app/api/workflow/route.ts
import { serve } from "@upstash/workflow/nextjs";
import { checkInventory, brewCoffee, printReceipt } from "@/utils";

export const { POST } = serve(async (ctx) => {
  const [coffeeBeansAvailable, cupsAvailable, milkAvailable] =
    await Promise.all([
      ctx.run("check-coffee-beans", () => checkInventory("coffee-beans")),
      ctx.run("check-cups", () => checkInventory("cups")),
      ctx.run("check-milk", () => checkInventory("milk")),
    ]);

  // If all ingedients available, brew coffee
  if (coffeeBeansAvailable && cupsAvailable && milkAvailable) {
    const price = await ctx.run("brew-coffee", async () => {
      return await brewCoffee({ style: "cappuccino" });
    });

    await printReceipt(price);
  }
});

After running your workflow, your dashboard shows each step in detail:
