Flowable Engine is a business process management platform and workflow engine used to automate business processes and orchestrate human and system activities. It provides a suite for modeling, deploying, and executing complex workflows and decision rules across distributed environments, including a dedicated case management system for unstructured processes and ad-hoc activities.
The platform is a Kubernetes native workflow orchestrator that can be deployed as a containerized service using manifests and Helm charts. It supports an embedded runtime model, allowing the engine to integrate as a library within a host application or operate as a standalone service.
The system covers process design through visual workflow modeling and standard process modeling. Orchestration capabilities include BPMN-based execution, rule-engine decision logic, and relational database state persistence.
Deployment is supported via Docker Compose bootstrapping and Kubernetes manifests.
