Imixs-Workflow

Java CI with Maven CII Best Practices Join a discussion License

Imixs-Workflow is an open source workflow engine to build human-centric workflow applications on a flexible and robust framework. Using the Business Process Modelling Notation - BPMN 2.0, business logic can be modeled fast, easy and in a flexible way. Imixs-Workflow is based on the Jarkarta EE and the Eclipse Microprofile standards and fits into any modern microservice architecture thanks to its openness. Imixs-Workflow runs on all modern application servers like Wildfly, Payara, Open Liberty or Apache TomEE.
