Enable Persistence

Recommendation (LOW)

Enable persistence to recover your workflow.

Workflows are automatically configured to have persistence disabled, which provides better performance of your workflow. However, you can enable persistence to:

save the current state of the instance to the Workflow database,
support recovery in the event of server problems,
stop and restart your workflow.

Note: This save process is a slow operation, impacting workflow performance as it moves from one subprocess to the next. This process is also CPU-intensive, so it can have a negative impact on the performance of other running workflow instances.
