I've been looking for this exact thing for awhile now. I'm just starting to dig into the docs and examples, and I have a question on workflows.

I have an existing pipeline that runs tasks across two K8 clusters and share a DB. Is it possible to define steps in a workflow where the step run logic is setup to run elsewhere? Essentially not having an inline run function defined, and another worker process listening for that step name.

This depends on the SDK - both Typescript and Golang support a `registerAction` method on the worker which basically let you register a single step to only run on that worker. You would then call `putWorkflow` programmatically before starting the worker. Steps are distributed by default so they run on the workers which have registered them. Happy to provide a more concrete example for the language you're using.

Perfect. Yeah, we're using both, but mainly TS. We'll test that out.
