Detailed Information

Service template library for observing distributed business processes in event-driven architectures without central orchestration.

The jEAP Process Context Service enables microservices to share and maintain a distributed view of long-running business processes. Instead of using a central process engine, it applies a choreography-based approach where process definitions are modeled as JSON templates. These templates specify tasks, milestones, correlations, and completion conditions. The service observes domain events from Kafka, correlates them to process instances, updates process state, and triggers events when milestones are reached or processes complete. It also supports advanced features such as optional and conditional task instantiation, process data correlation, relation tracking between business objects, and snapshot creation for auditability. Integrated with jEAP Messaging, it provides both runtime monitoring via a UI and REST APIs, and generates process events for downstream consumers, enabling transparency, traceability, and analytics across distributed systems.
