Go Workflow
Go-workflow is a lightweight library designed for defining and executing business process logic through a state-machine engine. It enables the automation of multi-step operations by managing task lifecycles, approval consensus, and the progression of processes through defined stages.
The engine utilizes a data-driven approach where business processes are structured as serialized JSON arrays, allowing for the definition of routing paths and task sequences without the need for visual modeling tools. It supports hierarchical node nesting to represent complex, multi-stage workflows and employs conditional routing logic to determine execution paths based on runtime data.
The library provides comprehensive management for task and process lifecycles, including the ability to track history, query pending or completed items, and handle task withdrawals. It decouples organizational entities from the core routing logic, allowing for flexible role-based assignment of reviewers and participants to tasks.
Features
- Business Process Automation - Automates internal business operations by executing structured sequences of tasks and approvals via code-based configuration.
- JSON-Based - Provides a data-driven approach to defining business process logic and routing paths using serialized JSON arrays.
- Approval Workflow Management - Processes task completions, withdrawals, and designates participants for subsequent workflow steps.
- State Machine Transitions - Tracks process progression by transitioning through discrete states based on task completion events.
- Workflow Orchestration - Manages task lifecycles, approval consensus, and conditional branching within automated business processes.
- Process Definition Formats - Structures business logic as serialized JSON arrays to define routing paths and task sequences.
- Review Approval Workflows - Manages multi-step review processes by assigning tasks to roles and enforcing consensus requirements.
- Data-Driven Routing - Determines execution paths by evaluating runtime variables against predefined conditions.
- Workflow Conditional Logic - Directs business workflow execution paths based on runtime data and predefined conditional rules.
- Go Workflow Engines - Provides a lightweight library for defining and executing business process logic using JSON-based routing.
- Process Data Decoupling - Maintains workflow state independently of organizational data structures by decoupling users and groups from routing logic.
- Approval Workflow Configurations - Configures whether single or multiple concurrent approvals are required to advance a workflow.
- Workflow State Tracking - Monitors the lifecycle of business processes and tasks to ensure consistent progression through defined stages.
- Workflow Task Management Systems - Enables querying and management of task lifecycles, including filtering pending or completed items by user or group.
- Workflow - Provides visibility into workflow status by querying the history of active or finished processes.
- Process Lifecycle Managers - Manages the process lifecycle by initiating new instances and tracking state transitions through defined stages.
- Task Lifecycle Management - Enables users to complete pending approvals or retract tasks to maintain workflow control.
- Conditional Role Assignment - Designates specific organizational roles or management levels as required reviewers for workflow tasks.
- Identity-Resolution Decoupling - Decouples organizational entities like users and roles from core routing logic to allow flexible task assignment.
- Hierarchical State Machines - Tracks process transitions and task history through defined hierarchical nodes and execution paths.
- Hierarchical Nesting - Constructs complex workflows by embedding sequential and branching nodes within a parent structure.
