Hi, I'm exploring Flyte and I'm curious about whether or not it's possible to define Workflows in Flyte in Go code (considering Flyte is written in Go itself). I know you can define Go code that runs in Docker containers using the ContainerTask, and there are SDKs for Python and Scala, but is there a way to define userland workflow code in Go?

hmm, i don't think that's possible @Clemente Cuevas using container tasks seems to be the only way to achieve that. cc @Yee

there is not… what’s the use-case out of curiosity?

The usecase here is that we have a pipeline with steps that were implemented in GoLang that would be nice to define in GoLang as well if we were to migrate to Flyte. I guess considering that there's a scala SDK I was wondering if there wasn't some way that one could use the Golang Flyte implementation to jerry-rig workflows in Go. I'm guessing there hasn't really been much inquiry around a Go SDK (I looked around in the issues and in this slack and didn't see a lot of questions around it).

i think it would be faster to figure out a way to make all golang code individual tasks, and then call them as generic container tasks in go.

I figured

can start with just using flyte copilot as the i/o mechanism (which basically just uses json i believe), and later move to native typing if that really becomes a thing. the proto code for flyteidl is already generated ofc

@Clemente Cuevas at the moment we don’t have a golang sdk, I do believe it is not that much work, but the demand for it is zero, so I he core team finds it hard to focus on. Feel free to contribute though - we are trying to write some Of the core is rust which will make it even easier potentially
