Business Process eXecution Engine

BPXE: Business Process eXecution Engine

BPMN 2.0 based business process execution engine implemented in Go. BPMN stands for Business Process Model and Notation. BPMN's goal is to help stakeholders to have a shared understanding of processes.

BPXE focuses on the execution aspect of such notation, effectively allowing the processes described in BPMN to function as if they were programs. BPXE is not the only such engine, as there are many commercially or community supported ones. The motivation behind the creation of BPXE was to create an engine with a particular focus on correctness and robustness.

Goals

• Reasonably good performance
• Small footprint
• Multiplatform (servers, browsers, microcontrollers)
• Multitenancy capabilities
• Distributed process execution
• Semantic correctness
• Failure resistance

Usage

At this time, BPXE does not have an executable server of its own and can be only used as a Go library.
