Kogito Serverless Workflow Applications in Cloud
Kogito Serverless Workflow is evolving as platform to build and deploy workflow applications in Kubernetes clusters.
You have two options to deploy your workflow applications: either as a full Quarkus project or using the SonataFlow Operator.
The cards below list all features included in the platform to deploy workflow applications either with Quarkus or the Operator.
|
Eventually these two options will converge, the SonataFlow Operator will also be able to handle full Quarkus projects. So if you opt in to use Quarkus now and manually deploy your workflows, bear in mind that it’s on the project’s roadmap to integrate the Quarkus experience with the Operator. |
Kubernetes with the Operator
For developers that are looking for a native Kubernetes approach where you can model workflows using YAML definitions and directly deploy them, you can use the SonataFlow Operator. The operator registers a new Kubernetes resource in the cluster to manage your workflow development iteration cycle and composition of services and events. The application is managed by the operator.

Kubernetes with Quarkus
For Java developers, you can use Quarkus and a few add-ons to help you build and deploy the application in a Kubernetes cluster. Kogito Serverless Workflow also generates basic Kubernetes objects YAML files to help you getting started. The application should be managed by a Kubernetes administrator.
