Turn complex requirements to workflows
without leaving the comfort of your technology stack
Getting Started • Documentation
About
ActiveWorkflow works alongside your existing technology stack to give you an easy and structured way to:
- Group business logic for periodic execution—for example, to generate and distribute a weekly PDF report.
- Poll resources—for example, to check if a file has become available on S3.
- Orchestrate event-driven functionality—for example, to trigger a customised email campaign in reaction to a pattern of user behaviour.
You can do all of the above by creating, scheduling, and monitoring workflows of agents, which are self-contained services (or microservices) written in any programming language you choose. ActiveWorkflow as a platform gives you a simple way for connecting your agents (services), extensive logging, state management, and a foundation to build a scalable and reliable system without vendor lock-in.
ActiveWorkflow is not a no-code platform, but it does offer a fully featured UI so that both software engineers and other stakeholders can manage and monitor workflows.
