OpenRules started in 2003 as a powerful Rule Engine and over years became a popular Decision Intelligence Platform that allows business analysts to represent their business logic in intuitive Excel tables and execute them using highly efficient Decision Engines. These days OpenRules is used by the major corporations and government agencies worldwide.
OpenRules provides a decision modeling environment for development of operational decision services for enterprise-level decision-making business applications. The top-level architecture is shown on the picture below where a stateful decision-making application invokes stateless operational decision services.

Tested decision models can be deployed on-premise or on-cloud using the standard frameworks provided by major cloud vendors:
With a push of a button you can deploy decision models as decision services using different Deployment Options.

OpenRules Decision Manager supports Serverless Architecture with multiple Decision Microservices. Enterprise-level Decision Models can be organized as sets of well-orchestrated decision microservices:
To support Service Orchestration of decision services it supports special decision tables for assembling new decision services using the existing decision services with orchestrating logic described in business rules. OpenRules supports the development of domain-specific libraries of decision services.
You may start with examples of simple decision models and quickly switch to development of your own Decision Services of any complexity.
