Using Conductor Forks to run tasks in parallel - creating multiple images

In our previous post on image processing workflows, we built a Netflix Conductor workflow that took an image input, and then ran 2 tasks: The first task resizes and reformats the image, and the second task uploads the image to an AWS S3 bucket.

With today's varied screen sizes, and varied browser support, it is a common requirement that the image processing pipeline must create multiple images with different sizes and formats of each image.

To do this with a Conductor workflow, we'll utilize the FORK operation to create parallel processes to generate multiple versions of the same image. The FORK task creates multiple parallel processes, so each iamge will be created asynchronously - ensuring a fast and efficient process.

In this post, our workflow will create 2 versions of the same image - a jpg and webp.
