Imixs-Workflow is an open source workflow engine to build human-centric workflow applications on a flexible and robust framework. Using the Business Process Modelling Notation - BPMN 2.0, business logic can be modeled fast, easy and in a flexible way. Imixs-Workflow is based on the Jarkarta EE and the Eclipse Microprofile standards and fits into any modern microservice architecture thanks to its openness. Imixs-Workflow runs on all modern application servers like Wildfly, Payara, Open Liberty or Apache TomEE.

Imixs-Workflow provides a RESTful API to integrate the Imixs-Workflow engine into a microservice architecture. In such an architecture the Imixs-Workflow engine can be deployed as a separate microservice managing human-centric workflow tasks. See the Imixs-Microservice project for more information.
Imixs-Workflow can be build with Maven. All artifacts are provided in the maven central repository. See the following example how to add imixs-workflow to your own maven project:
