## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2639, "days_push": 2334, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Go-Workflow is an ultra-lightweight workflow engine written in Go, structured as a microservice with an architecture inspired by Activiti. It records only process flow state, decoupling users and groups, and uses JSON arrays instead of BPMN for process definitions.

## Use cases
- embed a lightweight approval workflow engine in a Go backend
- run leave-request / approval flows as a microservice
- define workflows with JSON instead of BPMN
- implement countersign (and-sign) and or-sign task approval
- track workflow instances, tasks, and execution history

## When to choose
- you need a minimal Activiti-like workflow engine in Go
- you want workflow state as a standalone microservice
- BPMN XML is too heavy and JSON definitions suffice

## When to avoid
- you need full BPMN 2.0 compliance or complex gateways
- you need a maintained project with active releases
- you require a license-guaranteed dependency (no explicit license file)

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: workflow-automation, microservices, api-framework
- domain: backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: workflow-engine, bpmn-alternative, approval-flow, activiti-inspired, lightweight, automation, web-server
