Pipelines are written as processes connected by channels, and run on laptops, clusters, or cloud services. Containers keep software versions consistent. The nf-core community publishes tested pipelines for common analyses.

Seqera, the company behind it, sells hosted tooling. The language has a learning curve for people new to workflows.

Snakemake and Galaxy are alternatives. Nextflow suits bioinformaticians who run pipelines at scale.
