Decision brief
SpiffWorkflow is an open-source Python workflow engine that adheres to BPMN specifications.
Good fit when
- You need a pure Python solution without external dependencies for implementing BPMN workflows.
- Your project requires adherence to BPMN standards for defining and managing business processes.
Avoid when
- The project demands real-time performance or low-latency requirements as SpiffWorkflow, being a Python library, might not meet those stringent criteria.
- You require integration with non-BPMN workflow specifications exclusively.
