This path is for tech leads designing enterprise-scale automation. Rather than a single linear tutorial, it points you to the architecture, governance, and deployment guidance you need to design a production system.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with your target runtime platform (Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker) and your organization’s deployment and DevOps practices. To build and run models locally, work through the environment setup first.

Design the architecture

1

Choose an architecture style

Decide between the Adaptive Process Architecture, which co-locates the process components in a single Quarkus deployment, and an event-driven architecture built on Apache Kafka and CloudEvents. Base the choice on your scale, coupling, and latency needs.
2

Model decisions and processes as services

Package decisions (DMN/DRL) and processes (BPMN) as independently deployable, cloud-native services. The integration patterns cover embedding decisions in processes, event-driven messaging, and service orchestration.
3

Plan governance

Decide how models are reviewed, promoted between environments, and audited. Decision Control centralizes deployment and management of decision services, and Decision Control Tower adds governance workflows and an audit trail across environments.
4

Plan deployment

Select your deployment target (Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker) and your multi-environment promotion strategy. See the deployment guides and, for image and runtime choices, JVM vs native.
5

Integrate with DevOps

Wire builds and deployments into your CI/CD and observability tooling, and secure the architecture before exposing it.
