Parallel container & serial container

[Cristian]

Please evaluate the option to add 2 new containers:

1. parallel - execute tasks inside in parallel
2. serial - execute tasks in strict  order, imposed at design time. In the future the oder of operations could be enforced by parameters or other input conditions at runtime.

Please Give us the capacity to mix and match these 2 containers.

Thank you

Regards,
Cristian.

 Just noticed this post and believe the topic at the link below is worth merging with "ability to execute tools in parallel within same workflow"

I've supported yours (it's quite a clever way to address the issue) - and it may be worth you going through the ideas that are logged already and adding your support to the ones that are valuable to you?

Designer team is currently planning on a new type of container that allows for container sequencing. Stay tuned for more info to come in the coming months!

We believe Control Containers will be an excellent solution to this idea! 😁

It brings us incredible joy to announce that Control Containers are finally here - and they are awesome. Check out more details about this amazing new tool in this blog article! One of the (many) features includes the ability to dictate the order that containers are executed by sequencing them together, which solves the serial container order... and with AMP engine, we have the ability to execute multi-threaded as well!

Cheers!!!
