Kolibri is a reusable django app for designing and executing asynchronous processes and workflows. A workflow is a collections of steps in a defined order, processing data in each step. A step can break the flow if an exception is raised and/or a specified step can be executed to handle a specific exception. Kolibri uses celery to handle processing in the background. All processors and workflows can only be started by staff members, but more fine grained access control might be implemented in future versions. - Michael J. Giarlo

Really simple. - Michael J. Giarlo
