SpiffWorkflow is a pure Python workflow engine that parses and executes BPMN process diagrams and DMN decision tables. It enables building low-code business applications where non-developers define workflows visually and Python scripts run within them.
Use cases
- execute bpmn workflow diagrams in python
- embed a bpmn engine in my application
- run dmn decision tables from python
- build low-code business process apps
- parse bpmn xml and execute the process
- model multi-step approval workflows with timers and signals
When to choose
- you need a BPMN-compliant workflow engine in pure Python
- non-developers should design workflows visually that your app executes
- you want DMN decision tables integrated with Python scripting
- you need workflow features like sub-workflows, boundary events, and multi-instance tasks
When to avoid
- you need a distributed, persistent workflow service out of the box rather than an embeddable library
- you require full BPMN specification compliance for every exotic element
- your stack is Java or another language with mature BPMN engines like Camunda
