Apache ODE

Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) is an open-source platform that automates and manages complex business processes by coordinating various services and software components. It allows organizations to define workflows—such as order processing or employee onboarding—that involve multiple steps and systems. ODE interprets these workflows, ensuring tasks are executed in the right order and handling communication between different applications. By doing so, it improves efficiency, reduces manual effort, and ensures consistency across business operations, all while supporting standards like BPEL for process definition.
