Activiti is a lightweight, open-source Business Process Management (BPM) platform whose core is a fast BPMN 2.0 process engine for Java. It embeds in any Java application or runs on servers, clusters, or the cloud, with Activiti Cloud offering cloud-native building blocks (runtime bundles, audit/query services, connectors) for Kubernetes-based deployments.
Use cases
- automate business processes with a BPMN 2.0 workflow engine in Java
- embed a lightweight process engine into a Spring application
- run scalable business automation on Kubernetes with cloud-native services
- model and execute approval or order workflows across microservices
- track process state with audit and query services
- orchestrate system-to-system interactions with cloud connectors
When to choose
- you need a mature, battle-tested BPMN 2.0 engine on the JVM
- your stack is Java/Spring and you want lightweight embedding
- you're building distributed, cloud-native process automation on Kubernetes
- you want an Apache-licensed open-source BPM platform
When to avoid
- you need a visual, low-code BPM suite for non-developers rather than an engine
- your workflows are simple enough for a scheduler or message queue
- you're not on the JVM and can't host Java services
- you need a full commercial BPM vendor with enterprise support
