Abstract: Medium, method, and system for creating process automation applications. By storing applications as documents in a document database, a highly performant platform for process governance, risk management and compliance tracking is achieved. In particular, the disclosed architecture allows for rapid development of low-latency applications without requiring the application developer to write code to implement the application logic. Users can easily view a dashboard showing available applications and access them. At the same time, application developers can quickly develop new applications building on existing (previously developed or bundled) applications.
