# What is Kogito?

> Kogito is the cloud-native evolution of Drools and jBPM, compiling DMN/DRL decisions and BPMN processes into container-ready Quarkus microservices.

Kogito is the **cloud-native evolution** of Drools and jBPM. It takes the same
rules and process technology and compiles it into lightweight, container-ready
services — built on Quarkus for fast startup, low memory use, and native
compilation. Kogito turns your decisions (DMN/DRL) and processes (BPMN) into
deployable microservices with built-in APIs, making it well suited to Kubernetes
and serverless deployments.
