OE Workflow Engine

oe-workflow is a BPMN 2.0 compliant workflow engine built on oe-cloud. oe-workflow is a production grade workflow engine written in Node.js. The number of implemented bpmn-elements are comparable to popular industry standard workflow engines like jBPM, camunda, activiti. The exhaustive list can be found in the wiki. Minimal coding is required from workflow design creation to deployment. We provide various built-in connectors like REST, oe-connector etc.

What is BPMN 2.0 ?

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a graphical representation for specifying business processes in a business process model. It is the standard in business process modeling used widely by enterprises.
