Operaton Runs Everywhere

Versatile. Scalable. Future-Proof.

If you’ve ever worked with BPMN engines, you’re familiar with the classic deployment dilemma: Should you embed it directly within your Java application, deploy it as a standalone service, host it on-premises, or embrace the scalability of the cloud?

Operaton simplifies this choice by supporting all these deployment scenarios seamlessly.

Flexibility at its Core

With Operaton, you gain unparalleled flexibility:

Embedded Mode: Integrate Operaton directly into your Java application for maximum control and performance.
Standalone Service: Run Operaton as a dedicated service on your own infrastructure, providing isolation and manageability.
Cloud & Kubernetes: Deploy seamlessly on cloud infrastructure or leverage Kubernetes orchestration for effortless scalability and management.

Exciting News: Operaton Now Has a Helm Chart!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of the official Helm chart for Operaton!

Deploying Operaton on Kubernetes is now simpler than ever. With just a single command, you can have Operaton up and running, fully integrated into your Kubernetes environment.

You can find our Helm chart available on ArtifactHUB, the centralized repository for Kubernetes charts, which streamlines your workflow automation journey.

If you’re running a local Kubernetes setup like Minikube, you’re in luck! You can test-drive Operaton immediately without any complicated configuration steps.
