Flowable (V6) VS cadence

I’m doing a lot of exploratory work with BPMN right now.

I think if your business is largely transactional (think Stripe), there is a lot of value to be had by framing your development as “business process automation”.

The term (and BPMN) has a lot of enterprise baggage, but some of the tools out there [0][1] are well suited to orchestrating services (and people where necessary) as a single automated process. The the ability to build that flow visually using BPMN, and then execute it in a workflow engine where you can monitor it, audit it, and optimize over time is pretty compelling.

Here’s an interesting read on the topic: https://www.infoq.com/articles/events-workflow-automation/

May be this..https://cadenceworkflow.io/

Having done a reasonable amount of messaging code in my time, I would say the final form of this sort of thing might look more like Cadence[0] than anything like this.

Emit events from your primary DB (postgres, etc.) to something like kafka or rabbitmq and then catch that in your search engine. There's also some end-to-end solutions like temporal (temporal.io) or cadence (https://cadenceworkflow.io/)

Are there any mature workflow engines such as https://github.com/uber/cadence but with Rust client support?

You should definitely check Uber Cadence https://cadenceworkflow.io/

Dear community, I will be please to get your feedback to choose a schedule engine in 2022 in microservice context. On this field they are at least 2 challengers to me, ¹ nomad from hashicorp and ² cadence from uber. While kubernetes lead this field.

There's cadence which is made by Uber: https://cadenceworkflow.io/
