Hi, in this post i will descrbe about my experience using awesome flow engine. Yes! this is Flowable!

If you as Backend Developer specially work with Java and spring boot, you was lucky person! Because flowable engine is built in with java and spring framework. The main goal of flowable engine is make easier to develop flow process.

There is 2 main project in flowable engine:

• Flowable UI
• Flowable Rest

you can find it more in official site https://flowable.com/open-source/

Are you have find some difficults with dynamic flow process in client company? Yes it was frustasing me when work in project with changable flow process, if you work with Agile Methodology, you can’t complained about your fustation

So, for backend developer this is good news, there is many flow engine which is can be used for support development, documentation and forums also supported but not all companies flow engine is free!!!

If your project team not issue with budget, this will be fine to buy products or pro license, but if your team low budget. this is nightmare!! But dont worry, flowable offer you open source option which is full documentation and forums supported!

I am very happy when learn more about flowable, with this engine you just design the flow process diagram, the term of this diagram is BPMN. with flowable-ui you can design it and add some configuration. If you are familiar with java or spring expression, we can add some expression as variable which is you can find it more in official site.

Summary, my impression is great for flowable engine. I recommended you to try this awesome tools if you are java backend developer with spring boot as playground!
