About

Apache KIE is a community of solutions and supporting tooling for knowledge engineering and process automation, focusing on events, rules and workflows.

KIE is short for Knowledge Is Everything. The name has a history going back more than two decades, and the components it brings together predate the umbrella by many years.

• Components — the six components under the umbrella, and what each one does.
• History — how the community got from Drools in 2001 to Apache today.
