Wexflow

Wexflow is a high-performance, extensible, modular and cross-platform workflow engine. The goal of Wexflow is to automate recurring tasks. With the help of Wexflow, building automation and workflow processes become easy. Wexflow also helps in making the long-running processes straightforward. The communication between systems or applications becomes easy through this powerful workflow engine.

Wexflow makes use of .NET Core, a cross-platform version of .NET for building websites, services, and console apps. Thus, Wexflow provides a cross-platform workflow server and a cross-platform backend for managing, designing and tracking workflows with ease and flexibility. Wexflow server and its backend run on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Wexflow also makes use of Quartz.NET open source job scheduling system that is used in large scale enterprise systems. Thus, Wexflow offers flexibility in planning workflow jobs such as cron workflows.

Since workflows are typically long running processes, they will need to be persisted to storage between tasks. There are several persistence providers available. Wexflow provides LiteDB, MongoDB, RavenDB, CosmosDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL and SQLite persistence providers which enhance and improve the performance of this workflow engine. The user can choose the persistence provider of his choice at the installation.

Wexflow comes with a backend too, so you can search and filter among all your workflows, have real-time statistics on your workflows, manage your workflows with ease, design your workflows with ease, and track your workflows with ease:

Just to give you an idea of what Wexflow does, this is a screenshot from the "Designer" page. Using the "Designer" page, we get a nice visual overview of the dependency graph of the workflow. Each node represents a task which has to be run:

Moreover, the "Designer" page allows to edit workflows through its XML/JSON editor or its WYSIWYG form based editor:
