Simple Serverless Rule Engine
A lightweight yet powerful serverless rule engine that saves tons of repeated development work
A lightweight, yet powerful framework for declaratively authoring business decisions. From a business perspective, the framework provides a
clean segregation of data from the rules, thus enabling business users to model decisions easily.
Since the rules are declaratively specified, this framework frees the developers from writing repetitive code and
enables them to focus on their core priorities.
This framework can be deployed as an independent micro - service, either as a serverless function or on a container.
Serverless Event-driven Workflow Orchestration Engine
A lightweight Workflow orchestration engine that uses AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS) to schedule distributed tasks.
The engine enables declarative definition of tasks to be scheduled across multiple stages. The engine supports dependency across tasks & Human Tasks.
This workflow engine is fault tolerant, horizontally scalable & deployable as microservice. It has already powered more than a million
workflows. I am in the process of open sourcing the engine.

Mongogress Bridge is a near real time & horizontally scalable data transfer tool that ingeniously leverages MongoDB stitch trigger functions (Node.js) & AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS)
