Deploy Workflows as APIs
Transform your ComfyUI workflows into production services with three deployment options:| Use Case | Best Surface | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quick reviews, creative iteration | Playground UI | Guardrails + presets; zero code. |
| Product / tool integration | API or SDK | Stable contract, versioned schema, auth. |
| Automation, batch, agents | SDK + Scaling controls | Queues, concurrency, budget caps. |
Core Capabilities
- Configure deployments with runtime controls and access permissions
- Launch interactive playground UIs for non-technical users
- Integrate workflows programmatically via SDKs or REST APIs
- Auto-scale GPUs with cost controls and performance monitoring
Audience Quick-Nav
For Developers
Need: Auth, endpoints, payload formats, SDK examplesQuick Start: JS/TS SDK or Python SDK
For AI & Product Leads
Need: Governance, safe defaults, usage limits, team accessQuick Start: Deployment Configuration
For Leadership
Need: Risk controls, scaling behavior, integration patternsQuick Start: Security & Governance
Mental Model
Every deployed workflow in FlowScale AI follows this progression: Workflow Artifact (your ComfyUI graph + assets)→ Deployment Configuration (runtime, schema, permissions)
→ Service Surfaces (API endpoint, Playground UI, SDK bindings)
→ Scale & Governance (metrics, scaling, budgets)
Quick Start (5 Minutes)
1
Deploy a Workflow
Pick a saved workflow and click Deploy → Select runtime + access scope → Publish v1
2
Test with Playground
Generate Playground Link and test parameter variations with guardrails
3
Call from Code
Copy the API Endpoint → paste into SDK quick start examples below
4
Monitor Runs
Open Runs tab to see generation and outputs real-time

Service Surfaces Explained
API Endpoints
When to use: Product integration, backend automation, webhook triggers Key features:- RESTful HTTP interface with auto-generated OpenAPI docs
- Strongly-typed input validation and structured outputs
- Authentication via API keys with fine-grained permissions
- Async job support for long-running workflows
Playground UIs
When to use: Creative review cycles, stakeholder demos, non-technical team access Key features:- Auto-generated interfaces based on workflow parameters
- Parameter presets and validation guardrails
- Shareable links with access controls
SDK Integration
When to use: Application development, batch processing, programmatic automation Key features:- Type-safe clients for JavaScript/TypeScript and Python
- Built-in retry logic and error handling
- Streaming support for real-time outputs
- Environment-specific best practices (frontend vs. server)
Enterprise Features
- Cost Controls: Budget caps and spending alerts
- Brand Safety: Parameter restrictions and model locking
- Security: HTTPS, audit logging, SOC 2 compliance
Deployment Patterns by Use Case
- Demo & Review
- Internal Tooling
- Product Integration
- Automation & Agents
Pattern: Playground UI with parameter presetsConfiguration:
- Restricted parameter ranges for brand safety
- Low-cost GPU tiers for occasional use
