Solved: devportal integration with workflow engine

Report Inappropriate Content · 02-09-2016 01:25 AM

We are evaluating Apigee Dev portal to replace our existing portal. Since, i'm new to apigee edge, appreciate if someone can give the direction for me.

Our existing portal has two flavours, namely admin & dev portal. External developers uses Dev portal to onborad themselfs and apps as well as promote application to production. The responsiblity of Admin portal is to authorize external developers/apps & handle fallouts

I have following queries;

Our existing dev portal integrated with a workflow engine (JBPM) which uses to create a ticket in admin portal for approval. How can i achieve the same behavior in Apigee Dev portal?
Can you recommend any workflow engine which caters above requirement?
Is their any demo apigee dev portals for me to get some idea?
