Workflows is a powerful tool that lets you automatically act on monitoring data.
A workflow is not intended for mass data ingestion or mass data export. For large-scale data processing, consider using OpenPipeline or building custom solutions with Dynatrace Extensions.
For more information, see the quickstart example.
