Hi,
We are currently preparing to build a workflow capability in within our application leveraging the Activiti Process Engine API to offer the following functionality to our users:
With Activiti 6 implementing the above seems pretty straight forward. Point 1 is implemented by utilizing the RepositoryService.
Point 2 is implemented by implementing a JavaDelegate and publishing how the BPMN XML should look to activate it correctly (later our UI will handle this correctly under the covers).
Point 3 is all us on the UI side with calls to the REST end points Activiti 6 exposes.
Point 4 is all us on the UI side with calls to get the correct list of tasks via the Activiti 6 end points.
Point 5 we expect to map queues to groups.
With Activiti 7 the following is not so clear:
Points 3 - 5 look OK.
More broadly should we push out our implementation plans to when Activiti 7 is stable and to avoid any sunk costs in consuming Activiti 6 using mechanisms that will change in Activiti 7?
Thanks in advance,
Christian.

Thanks @ryandawoson, I totally agree, join our Gitter channel (ping us) and let's have a catch up via Skype/Zoom to check your requirements more in detail. We have done this for other community users and we can recommend what is the best way to go. As you notice, the Cloud Native approach is different and we realize that not everyone can jump in that approach straight away.
We are working hard to release Beta1, and then we will work to improve the experience so you can build and release Activiti Cloud applications in a Continuous Delivery (CD) fashion.
This is an interesting use-case and it would be good to discuss it more, preferably with Mauricio Salatino and the rest of the core Activiti7 team. Would you be able to join the Activiti7 gitter chat channel? I think it would be a better way to work through what the best path for you to follow is and perhaps we can come back and update this thread afterwards. If gitter doesn't work for you then please let us know.
