Performance and Scalability of DMN-Based LCNC Platforms

Low-code / no-code platforms (LCNCP) are on the rise, a trend that represents a step towards the decade-long goal to automate coding. The quality of an LCNCP can be measured by external attributes such as functionality, reliability, usability, flexibility, efficiency, and maintainability. When businesses decide on using an LCNCP, they place significant importance on efficiency, which can be evaluated based on factors like performance and scalability. This paper describes the performance and scalability aspects in the space of business decisions specified using the Decision Model And Notation (DMN) language, an industry standard for the specification of business decisions, and the execution engine jDMN. Furthermore, it outlines a range of efficient optimization techniques within the DMN domain.
