Summary

Flowable, a workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) platform, has integrated support for the distributed and scalable CockroachDB as of version 6.4.2, simplifying the deployment process for developers, system administrators, and business users. The collaboration between Cockroach Labs and Flowable engineers has facilitated this integration, highlighting the importance of atomicity and data correctness in process management. The provided guide details steps for setting up Flowable with CockroachDB, starting with downloading CockroachDB binaries, creating a database and user, and setting up a Spring Boot application with necessary dependencies. The application connects to CockroachDB using the PostgreSQL JDBC driver, allowing users to start process instances through a REST endpoint, demonstrating that using CockroachDB with Flowable is akin to using any other relational database.
