dromara/liteflow

Lightweight, fast, stable, programmable component-based rule engine — where AI Agents orchestrate just like ordinary components. Uniquely designed DSL: component reuse, sync/async & dynamic orchestration, multi-language scripting, nested rules, hot deployment and smooth refresh. If you can orchestrate LiteFlow, you can orchestrate AI. observed · 2026-08-28

LiteFlow is a lightweight, programmable component-based rule engine for Java that orchestrates complex business logic via DSL rules (XML/JSON/YML) with hot reload and multi-language scripting. Since v2.16.0 it treats AI Agents as first-class components that can be orchestrated alongside ordinary business nodes.

Use cases

  • orchestrate complex business flows with reusable components
  • build AI agent workflows alongside regular business logic
  • hot-reload business rules without restarting the application
  • mix synchronous and asynchronous steps in a rule chain
  • load rules from Nacos, Zookeeper, Redis or a database
  • embed scripting languages inside rule definitions

When to choose

  • you need a fast, stable rule/orchestration engine on the JVM
  • you want AI agents orchestrated like ordinary components
  • you need dynamic rule updates with hot deployment under high concurrency
  • your stack is Spring Boot or plain Java from JDK8 to JDK25

When to avoid

  • you need a non-JVM runtime
  • you want a visual drag-and-drop workflow UI rather than DSL rules
  • your orchestration needs are simple enough for plain code or a BPM engine
