Java: Kogito, built on Quarkus and Kubernetes

Kogito is a cloud-native business automation framework built on Quarkus and Kubernetes, designed for building intelligent, scalable, event-driven business process and decision automation services.

📌 In Simple Terms:

Kogito = Next-gen Drools + jBPM + DMN, made for microservices, cloud, and Kubernetes.

It helps you automate:

• Business processes (BPMN2)
• Business rules (Drools/DRL)
• Decisions (DMN)
• Using modern Java, Quarkus, and container-native tools.

🛠️ Core Components of Kogito

🚀 Why Use Kogito?

• Cloud-native: Optimized for Quarkus, GraalVM, and Kubernetes
• Event-driven: Integrates easily with Kafka or Knative
• Developer-friendly: Auto-generates REST endpoints from BPMN/DMN
• Decision automation: Uses standard DMN format
• Scalable: Works well in microservice and serverless environments

🔁 Workflow Example

You can define a BPMN process like this:

Start → Evaluate Order → Approve/Reject Decision → End

Then Kogito will:

• Generate a REST API like POST /orders
• Invoke rules/decisions in Drools or DMN
• Expose endpoints for interacting with the process

When you run the project:

• Kogito generates REST endpoints from BPMN/DMN
• You can interact with them via HTTP or events
