1 year ago Thanks for this submission @mayur-yambal! I see parallels with Argo Workflows (as you mention) as well as Serverless Workflow.
Since this project enables users to develop and deliver workflow-style processes and applications I think it fits TAG App Delivery like those other two projects.
Could you present IO Flow at an upcoming TAG App Delivery general meeting? Our next opening is likely Sept 20, here's our running agenda/notes doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OykvqvhSG4AxEdmDMXilrupsX2n1qCSJUWwTc3I7AOs/edit
I'll shortly open a tracking issue in our TAG repo too.

Project Summary
IO Flow is a Cloud-Native, Microservices enabled workflow engine that facilitates creation, execution, monitoring & optimisation of complex business processes..
Project Description
IO Flow presents a remarkable opportunity for CNCF's prestigious sandbox program as it embodies cloud-native innovation and fulfils the demand for efficient workflow management solutions. This cutting-edge, microservices-enabled workflow engine is designed to significantly impact the cloud-native ecosystem by enhancing the creation, execution, monitoring, and optimisation of complex business processes.
Built with a clear focus on openness and industry standards, IO Flow seamlessly integrates with existing CNCF projects through interoperability libraries. Its compatibility with industry standards like MACH (Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless) ensures seamless communication between various cloud-native tools, fostering a cohesive environment where projects complement each other's functionalities. Moreover, IO Flow adheres to OpenAPI 3.0, promoting a standardised approach to API definition, while embracing BPMN and OCEL to highlight its commitment to industry recognised standards and open collaboration within the cloud-native ecosystem.
IO Flow takes a novel approach to address the unfulfilled needs of workflow orchestration and management by offering a comprehensive feature set that aligns perfectly with CNCF values. With real-time process monitoring and detailed execution logs, it embodies CNCF's focus on observability and data-driven insights. The platform's modular and reusable workflows demonstrate commitment to extensibility and interoperability, supporting CNCF's goal of building a cohesive and collaborative cloud-native landscape. IO Flow's dynamic UI for user tasks enhances the user experience, aligning with CNCF's emphasis on improving user-centric design. The pre-built connector ecosystem further contributes to interoperability, making IO Flow a robust solution that empowers organisations to succeed in cloud-native environments.
IO Flow's clear roadmap includes workflow mining capabilities, visual workflow mining, KPI dashboards, benchmarking, workflow variant detection, conformance analysis, and workflow graphs/models. By integrating these features with its workflow management system, IO Flow goes beyond mere monitoring, facilitating seamless end-to-end workflow management and optimising workflows effectively. With its dedication to innovation and alignment with CNCF values, IO Flow emerges as a standout candidate for CNCF's sandbox program, destined to make a meaningful contribution to the cloud-native community.

Benefit to the Landscape
IO Flow brings significant benefits to the CNCF landscape, presenting a versatile workflow management solution with clear differentiators from existing projects like Argo Workflows. While Argo is specifically designed for Kubernetes, IO Flow extends beyond Kubernetes to cater to various cloud-native environments. Its adoption of BPMN for standardised workflow modelling sets it apart, enhancing compatibility and communication between cloud-native tools. With comprehensive features, real-time monitoring, dynamic UI, and scalability, IO Flow empowers organisations with actionable insights and improved user experiences. Its contribution enriches the ecosystem, optimising cloud-native workflows and empowering organisations in their cloud-native journey.
Furthermore, IO Flow's comprehensive roadmap includes workflow mining capabilities such as visual workflow mining, KPI dashboards, benchmarking, workflow variant detection, conformance analysis, and workflow graphs/models. By seamlessly integrating these features with its workflow management system, IO Flow offers seamless end-to-end workflow management and optimisation. This unique differentiator positions IO Flow as a powerful and innovative solution to address workflow challenges within the CNCF landscape, complementing and advancing cloud-native practices and fostering collaboration within the community.
