What is Aletyx Playground?
Aletyx Playground is an enterprise-grade, cloud-native tool that allows users to:- Create and edit Decision Models (DMN) and Business Processes (BPMN)
- Test models directly in the browser with real-time validation
- Deploy ephemeral models to development environments with a single click
- Collaborate with team members through Git integration
- Transform models into complete deployable services using accelerators

Cloud Option:- Navigate to https://playground.aletyx.ai
- No installation required, start modeling immediately
Core Architecture
Aletyx Playground consists of three main components that work together to provide a seamless experience:- Studio Environment: The core modeling interface where you create and edit DMN and BPMN models
- Extended Services: Provides validation and runtime capabilities for testing your models
- CORS Proxy: Facilitates secure communication with Git providers and cloud platforms
Key Features
Intelligent Modeling Tools
Aletyx Playground includes advanced editors for DMN (Decision Model and Notation) and BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) that provide:- Real-time validation to catch errors early
- Intuitive user interfaces for both technical and non-technical users
- Support for the latest standards and specifications
- Testing capabilities built directly into the editors
Git Integration
Aletyx Playground seamlessly integrates with popular Git providers:- GitHub and GitHub Enterprise
- BitBucket Cloud
- GitLab (coming soon)
Dev Deployments
One of the most powerful features of Aletyx Playground is the ability to deploy your models directly to development environments:- One-click development deployment to a local Kubernetes or OpenShift
- Automatic generation of containerized applications
- Built-in testing interfaces for deployed applications
- Support for custom deployment images
- Ephemeral in nature and can be viewed as temporary services
Accelerators
Accelerators transform your models into complete, deployable applications:- Convert DMN/BPMN models into Quarkus microservices
- Add CI/CD pipelines and deployment configurations
- Include testing frameworks and documentation
- Apply organizational standards and best practices
Workflow Integration
Aletyx Playground is designed to fit seamlessly into modern development workflows:- Model: Create decisions and processes using standards-based visual editors
- Test: Validate your models directly in the browser
- Accelerate: Transform models into complete applications
- Deploy: Push to development environments with a single click
- Refine: Iterate based on feedback and testing
- Commit: Save changes to version control
- Collaborate: Work with team members on shared models
Getting Started
The best way to get familiar with Aletyx Playground is to:- Explore the Sample Models: Try the sample Decision and Process models to understand the core capabilities
- Create Your First Model: Start with a simple decision or process model
- Connect to Git: Set up version control for your projects
- Apply an Accelerator: Transform your model into a deployable application
- Deploy to Development: Test your model in a runtime environment
