Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for efficiently processing of rule-based computing workflows. In some implementations, a system includes a database, a web server module to provide resources for a rule management user interface having interactive controls to create and edit rules, and an application server module providing services to carry out functions specified through an application programming interface (API). The application server module is configured to (i) receive a request to apply a set of rules to a set of records, and (ii) perform, in response to receiving the request, a set of operations that includes: obtaining the set of rules from the database. The system dynamically translates the rules into executable or interpretable code configured to apply the rules, and invokes the executable or interpretable code to apply the rules to the records in the set of records.
