Plugged In: Simplifying Plugin Management with Operaton

At Operaton, our mission is to create a seamless and accessible experience for both users and contributors. When it comes to community plugins, we’ve adopted a streamlined approach: we fork and maintain plugins as needed within our main GitHub organization.

No need for a separate “community hub” or scattered repositories—every popular plugin is centrally maintained under the Operaton umbrella. This ensures quality, reliability, and ease of access for everyone who uses or contributes to the project.

The First Fork: Keycloak Plugin

We’re thrilled to announce our first plugin fork: the popular Keycloak plugin!

Keycloak is a powerful open-source identity and access management solution that provides:

• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Identity Brokering
• Role-based Access Control (RBAC)
• Customizable Authentication Flows

With the Keycloak plugin, Operaton simplifies authentication and authorization for BPMN workflows, ensuring a secure and user-friendly environment.

Why Centralized Plugin Management?

By maintaining plugins centrally, we stay focused on what matters most:

• Providing a robust and cohesive BPMN engine.
• Ensuring plugins are always up-to-date and reliable.
• Making it easier for developers to access, use, and contribute to the project.

We’d Love to Hear From You!

• Do you think a centralized approach to plugin maintenance is the way to go?
