OCB: Event-driven Applications with Kogito Serverless Workflows and Knative Ricardo Zanini (Red Hat)

Benefits of business automation such as increased productivity, cost reduction, and improved visibility and communication are important across architectures and runtime platforms. Often thought of as monolithic, business automation has gained high interest in cloud and container-based architectures. Workflow orchestration and automation are now key pieces in developing serverless applications in multi-cloud environments. Using Kogito, a cloud-native business automation runtime, and CNCF Serverless Workflow Project, a vendor-neutral and portable workflow language, we will show how to get up and running with business automation in the cloud and create highly productive and scalable cloud-native applications on top of Knative infrastructure.

2. V0000000 Agenda Use Case Example Short Demo Event-driven Applications with Kogito Serverless Workflows and Knative CNCF Serverless Workflow Specification Kogito Project
3. V0000000 Event-driven Applications with Kogito Serverless Workflows and Knative CNCF Serverless Workflow Specification
4. V0000000 CNCF Serverless Workflow Specification Serverless Workflow Specification is a CNCF Sandbox Project: https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/ CNCF Serverless Workflow Specification Website "A specification focused on defining a declarative workflow language that targets the serverless computing technology domain."
5. V0000000 Serverless Workflow Specification Source: https://github.com/serverlessworkflow/specification/blob/main/specification.md#Overview Why? Workflows can capture and organize business requirements in a unified manner The specification addresses the need for a vendor-neutral, platform-independent and declarative workflow language Having a common way to define workflows increases the potential for common libraries, tooling and infrastructure Being vendor-neutral, increases portability, productivity and learning curve

9. V0000000 Meet Kogito Kogito is a work in progress implementation of the CNCF Serverless Workflow specification
10. V0000000 What’s Kogito? A cloud-native solution to build business applications https://kogito.kie.org/
11. V0000000 Kogito Capabilities Rules: Describe business rules in specific domain-driven DSL Decisions: Design complex decisions with DMN Serverless Orchestration: Execute workflows based on CNCF Serverless Workflow specification Business Process: Design, execute and track business-driven process based on BPMN Cloud native: Tools to model and run business applications for cloud-native architectures
12. V0000000 Supporting Services Cloud-native services to support your business applications VSCode plugins, online and standalone editors Based on battle tested frameworks such as Drools, jBPM and OptaPlanner Editors Engine The Kogito Project Kubernetes Operator and a CLI to deploy and manage Kogito services Cloud Tools
13. V0000000 Example Use Case Online Store Order Processing
14. V0000000 Online Store Order Processing Order Approval Service New Order event
15. V0000000 Online Store Order Processing John Doe, CEO An online store needs to perform Shipping and Fraud verification before proceeding with the Order process
16. V0000000 Online Store Order Processing Order Pre-Processing Workflow Order Approval Service International Shipping Validation Service Domestic Shipping Validation Service Fraud Evaluation Service 1 New Order event 2 After evaluating the order, the workflow can emit up to two events: Fraud evaluation and Shipping Handling 3 When finishing the Shipping Validation, a new event will be emitted, so the order can continue to the approval process 5 This service will correlate all the consumed events to proceed (or not) with the approval process 4 The Fraud Evaluation service emits a new event with the result of the evaluation
17. V0000000 Workflow source files: https://red.ht/kogito-sw-order The Order Pre-Processing Workflow Receive Order Process Order Fraud Handling Shipping Handling Produce Shipping Event Produce Fraud Event Consume New Order Event
