Motia Workbench: Your Development Control Center
Motia Workbench is a built-in, browser-based development platform that acts as your central hub for building, testing, and debugging Motia flows. Key features include:
-
Interactive Flow Visualization: See your workflows come to life as dynamic diagrams, making it easy to understand complex event flows and step interactions.
-
Real-time Flow Testing: Trigger API endpoints and monitor event propagation through your steps, all within the Workbench UI. Inspect data at each stage to ensure your flows are behaving as expected.
-
Live Log Streaming: Access detailed, real-time logs directly in the Workbench. Filter and search logs to quickly pinpoint issues and monitor workflow execution.
-
Step-Level Customization: Create custom UI components for your steps to enhance visualization and provide context-specific information directly within the flow diagram.
Core Concepts: Building Blocks of Motia
Motia workflows are built using a few core concepts that work together harmoniously:
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Steps | Self-contained, reusable units of business logic. Steps subscribe to events, process data, and emit events. |
| Flows | Logical groupings of related steps that together accomplish a specific task or process. |
| Events | Messages that are emitted by steps and trigger other steps that subscribe to them. |
| Topics | Named channels or categories for events, enabling event routing and decoupling between steps. |
