Corticon enables business users and domain experts to define rules for automating critical business decisions. Corticon has long been a leader in decision automation for Java and .NET applications. Corticon.js provides a new deployment option, JavaScript. With Corticon.js you can define rules and package them into fully self-contained JavaScript bundles which can be deployed to any compatible JavaScript platform. Example usages include:

  • Rules deployed as serverless functions on AWS Lambda or Azure Functions
  • Rules integrated into a cloud work flow such as AWS Step Functions, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Flow
  • Rules run on your own backend as part of your Node.js platform
  • Rules bundled in a mobile app with Xamarin, React, Vue or other toolkit
  • Rules executed in a browser as part of a web application

This guide introduces you to Corticon.js Studio for defining business rules and packaging them for deployment. Like Corticon, Corticon.js provides an easy to use spreadsheet metaphor for defining business rules as well as tools to define your rule vocabulary, rule flows and to test them. Corticon frees you from dependence on your IT department writing code for your automated business decisions.

The topics here are supported by guides to the rule modeling language and a quick reference for the Corticon.js Studio user interface. If you are new to Corticon, you will benefit from the Basic and Advanced Rule Modeling tutorials on the Corticon Information Hub.

If you are just starting to use Corticon, you might find the walkthrough pace of the basic and advanced rule modeling tutorials helpful. You get a lot of design and testing done without writing a single line of computer code.
