Bonita is an open and extensible digital business platform that provides both low-code and customizable capabilities for process automation through graphical tooling and extension points, allowing for both standard and custom development needs. The Bonita platform offers pre-built connectors, UI widgets, and APIs that can be extended and customized freely. Additional tools are included for continuous integration, cloud deployment, and machine learning-based process improvement recommendations.
