Jmix is an open-source high-productivity platform for building enterprise-grade applications. Java developers worldwide use it to build data-centric, business-process centric, and content management applications, especially when faced with strict time and budget constraints. In a nutshell Jmix enables a Java developer to become a full-stack developer, delivering a standard Spring Boot application at the end. No runtime fees, a single language (Java/Kotlin) for the backend and UI, using mainstream core technologies, and a developer-friendly professional IDE are reasons the platform appeals to developers. This post looks into how we introduced workflow support into the platform, embedded bpmn-js, and how our users benefit from the integration.
