Business application can be defined as an automated solution, built with selected frameworks and capabilities that implements business functions and/or business problems. Capabilities can be (among others):
- persistence
- messaging
- transactions
- business processes,
- business rules
- planning solutions
Capabilities essentially define the features that your business application will be equipped with. Available options are:
- Business automation covers features for process management, case management, decision management and optimisation. These will be by default configured in the service project of your business application. Although you can turn them off via configuration.
- Decision management covers mainly decision and rules related features (backed by Drools project)
- Business optimisation covers planning problems and solutions related features (backed by OptaPlanner project)
Business application is more of a logical grouping of individual services that represent certain business capabilities. Usually they are deployed separately and can also be versioned individually. Overall goal is that the complete business application will allow particular domain to achieve their business goals e.g. order management, accommodation management, etc.
