As part of our enablement offerings, Aletyx recently delivered our **Apache KIE 10 Workshop** to a customer in the science and technology sector. This workshop, one of Aletyx’s core training programs, is designed to help development teams gain hands-on experience with **Kogito based workflows** and understand how to effectively apply the technology in real-world environments.

### Built for Practical Adoption

The Aletyx KIE 10 Workshop is structured to take participants from foundational concepts to production-ready practices. It combines guided instruction with hands-on labs, and includes exclusive content developed by Aletyx to bridge the gap between learning and real implementation.

Core topics covered in the workshop included:

- **Environment & Dev Setup Across Platforms**
    Step-by-step guidance to configure Java, Git, containers, cloud tools, and Visual Studio Code---enabling consistent environments across diverse teams.
- **Modeling Decisions and Rules**
    Introduction to **DMN** and **DRL**, with exercises to build and deploy decision services using the **KIE Sandbox**. Labs covered both low-code modeling and rule-based logic development.
- **Kogito Workflow Foundations**
    Key concepts around the **workflow engine, runtimes, job service, user task handling**, and orchestration patterns like **SAGA** and **Four Eyes approval**.
- **Kogito Java APIs**
    Beyond auto-generated REST endpoints, the workshop includes **how to work directly with Kogito Java APIs**, providing developers with more control and flexibility in application design.
- **Customization & Accelerators**
    Attendees learned how to tailor the **KIE Sandbox** to their needs and apply **accelerators** to streamline decision modeling and deployment workflows.
- **Advanced Workflow Topics**
    Topics such as **event-driven architecture with Kafka, GraphQL integration**, and **various subprocess patterns** (embedded, reusable, ad-hoc, and event-based) helped teams explore advanced use cases.

### Supporting Distributed Teams

With the customer’s teams spread across multiple regions, the workshop was delivered in a format that supports remote collaboration and asynchronous participation. The combination of structured labs and production-focused content gave every participant a practical path forward---regardless of geography.
