Continuing with the growth of our tool, last week we added a new use case to our documentation, where the possibility of using the KuFlow platform from a "Low-Code" perspective is shown, and which serves to know the possibility of, without being a developer, build an automated Serverless process.

Quickly What does Serverless mean?

According to Red Hat “it is an advanced cloud deployment model that aims to run business services on demand, allowing businesses to save hugely on infrastructure costs. The benefit of serverless is an application designed and developed as abstract functions independent of programming languages.”

And Workflow?

Well, we already said it in our documentation: “…a process (is) like a series of tasks that must be carried out to achieve a result. But to that, we must add that these tasks are performed in a certain order following defined rules. Those rules and that order is what is defined in a workflow (Workflow).”

In this use case, what we did was take a common process that is so desired in any organization, request vacations.

The business rules are simple:

• A person completes a form to request her vacation.
  • Validation: The start date is not earlier than the end date.
  • Action: You are prompted again to enter dates, keeping the data already entered.
• Another person receives a notification and the task to accept or reject, if necessary add a reason.
  • Validation: The answer is mandatory.
  • Action: In order to move forward the decision form always requests a response.
• The first receives a notification with the reason for rejection if that is the case.

In this section of our documentation, you have the step-by-step tutorial to perform this exercise: Documentation - Serverless Workflow Tutorial.

And then we share the video summary of the entire exercise:
