Stratus Cloud Award
ProcessMaker was honored today as a 2017 Stratus Cloud Award Finalist in the category of Cloud Disruptor. ProcessMaker received the recognition from the Stratus Cloud Award judges thanks to the new ProcessMaker I/O workflow engine microservices API.
Microservice Architectures
The idea of microservices is not a new idea. However, for the past few years many more companies have developed products based on true microservices architectures with REST API interfaces. Today, there are now more APIs available, more ways to convert existing data and services into APIs, and more API management platforms. All of this continues to feed itself and generate more and more value to the API driven economy. This is why ProcessMaker was honored with a Stratus Cloud Award.
Just the Beginning for Microservice APIs
We are just at the start of a brave new world of APIs. In this world APIs form the building blocks of the next generation of software and web enabled services. Although APIs have been around for quite a while, the REST API is relatively new and very easy to understand. Furthermore, the idea of an "always on" consumable service is relatively new and transformative. ProcessMaker I/O received a stratus cloud award because it is a highly resilient, highly scalable workflow engine microservice that orchestrates both human workflow and workflow between microservices. Users and launch as many cloud microservice workflow engines as needed. Each engine scales transparently for the user. The ProcessMaker I/O engine handles all the complexities of horizontal and vertical scaling behind the scenes. As a result developers can easily incorporate our API into their enterprise app, and they can focus on building great software.
