Using Workflows in CircleCI

Workflows in CircleCI are a way to run parallel build jobs and can be used to define a collection of jobs and to specify a job order. Let us add a workflows field to the go-template-example-with-circle-ci (https://github.com/packtci/go-template-example-with-circle-ci) configuration YML script:

version: 2
jobs:
    build:
        ...
    integration:
        ....
workflows:
    version: 2
    build_and_integration:
        jobs:
            - build
            - integration

In this workflow, we create two parallel jobs called build and integration respectively. They are independent of each other and this will help speed up the build process.

Workflows in action in CircleCI Web UI

We can see the workflows in the CircleCI web UI if we click on the Workflows link in the left navigation pane. You then need to click on a specific project which in this case is go-template-example-with-circle-ci as shown in the following screenshot:

If you click on the RUNNING workflow, you...
