Since v3.0, we had done quite a number of code profiling steps and optimized the identified bottlenecks. There is significant performance improvement in v4. In terms of customer implementations, we have a customer in Asia that implemented a cluster of up to 5 servers on AWS (Amazon Web Services) to handle up to 1500 concurrent users. There's another in Europe that has several thousand total users running on a single on-premise server. As Joget Workflow is a platform and not directly an end-user app, the scalability and performance would depend on a number of factors e.g. complexity of the apps and use cases, usage patterns, tuning of the OS/DB/JVM/app server stack, etc.  The best approach would be to perform profiling/sampling on specific apps/use cases that are considered slow, that would give a good indication on any possible bottlenecks/resource contention issues. There is a very general guideline at  http://dev.joget.org/community/display/KBv4/ , but it is...

Joget Workflow as a workflow management software has come a long way since Nov 2009. Version 1 and 2 were developed and positioned as a BPM workflow management system to design, deploy and run workflows for business processes with the workflow engine as the core. After almost two years of trying to find a market fit, we discovered that our customers were using Joget Workflow to automate their processes and then building web applications around those workflows. A process-driven application if you will! Joget Workflow as a process-driven application platform That realization made us rethink our product strategy. Why not provide a platform that allowed the users to develop web applications and at the same time provide them with the capability to automate any processes they need? It should be designed to be simple and easy to use with little or no coding! Hence, for v3, we decided to completely redeveloped Joget Workflow from ground up ( v3 Overview ). It is designed to be a pl...

In this tutorial, we will be learning on how to make use of Deadlines to set up Reminder and Task Escalation in a workflow process. One should have prior knowledge about different types of Deadlines before using them. You may refer to the documentation on Deadlines if you wish to find out more.

In this tutorial, we will be learning on how to build Joget from source. Please refer to the knowledge base article for the full documentation on this topic. You must fulfill all the prerequisites stated in the article before proceeding to build Joget.

In this tutorial, we will be learning on how to get Joget to run as a Windows Service. You may also refer to the knowledge base article .

During the course of this tutorial, we will also be learning on how to:- Create Apache Tomcat 6 as service. Create MySQL as service. Make MySQL service as the dependency to Apache Tomcat 6.

User notification  plugin is used to notify users on new tasks. It is to be implemented at the application level thus allows greater customization of its notification content. It is a one-time setup process and this plugin will be called every time a new task is created. The following video tutorial shows on how you can configure the User Notification. View on Youtube

This is the third part of the video to develop a Joget Workflow v3 App. In the previous part, we have  designed all the forms necessary for the Claim App process. In this video, we are going to revisit the forms to add in a  Calculation field , and then complete off the entire App by adding in the Datalist and Userview. Calculation Field in Joget Form Builder Creating a new Datalist in Joget Integrating the Datalist created in Userview In this tutorial, you will be learning the following: Adding Calculation Field into the form. Creating Datalist. Creating Userview by integrating the process, form and lists. When watching any video tutorials, it is advisable to pause the video constantly to keep up with the steps. Please do not hesitate to post your comments on the tutorials. Thanks. Cheers.

This is the second part of the video to develop a Joget Workflow v3 app, in this case the Claims App. Earlier, we talked about on how to design a process .
