Design Robust Flowable Apps

Build Bulletproof Flowable Apps!

Learn how to design resilient, error-tolerant Flowable applications that thrive in real-world conditions. This hands-on course dives into technical exception handling, robust data modelling, validation strategies, and expression logic. Through practical use cases, you’ll master the tools and techniques to ensure your apps are reliable, maintainable, and user-friendly.

Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for Flowable developers, solution architects, and technical consultants who want to elevate their app design skills and build robust, production-grade solutions.

Session 1

• Introduction & course structure
• What makes an app “robust”?
• Using Flowable Inspect & debugging tools
• Data modeling with Data Dictionaries

Session 2

• Frontend vs backend validations
• Expression constraints (basic or complex)
• Integration error handling (Service Registry, Data Objects)
• BPMN & CMMN error events (start, boundary, end)

Session 3

• Understanding synchronous vs asynchronous jobs
• Retry logic, failover, and escalation patterns
• Building custom admin dashboards for error monitoring

• Design resilient and scalable Flowable applications that handle errors, exceptions, and failures gracefully across technical and business layers.
• Model structured, reusable, and validated data using Data Dictionaries and expression constraints to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Implement robust error-handling logic using BPMN and CMMN error events, retry mechanisms, and integration safeguards.
• Differentiate and apply synchronous vs asynchronous job execution to optimise performance and user experience.
• Monitor and troubleshoot applications effectively using Flowable Inspect, Control, and custom admin dashboards for operational transparency.

This course is designed for participants who already have a solid understanding of Flowable basics and some hands-on experience building apps.
