In an approach for transforming workflows based on goals and constraints, a processor receives a workflow definition and one or more events for a workflow output by a workflow orchestrator, wherein the one or more events are at least one of a parsing event and a scheduling event. A processor determines, using one or more transformers, one or more transformations to the workflow based on a set of goals and constraints, wherein the one or more transformations is at least one of addition of a new node, addition of a new graph, modification of at least one existing node, modification of at least one existing graph, removal of at least one existing node, and removal of at least one existing graph. A processor dynamically applies, using one or more enforcers, the one or more transformations to the workflow based on the set of goals and constraints.
