Do BPM changes cause data loss or require message replay?

No. Nodinite enables schema-free changes without data loss. Add new steps, reorganize domains, refine correlation logic, or restructure processes—all while preserving historical data and maintaining continuity. Competing solutions often lose visibility or require data migration when workflows change.

What You Can Change Without Data Loss

  • Add new process steps - Extend BPM with additional milestones
  • Reorganize domains - Change swimlane structure to match org changes
  • Refine Search Field correlation - Update business identifiers without losing history
  • Restructure processes - Split or merge BPM definitions
  • Rename services - Use artifact renaming to clarify presentation
  • Change step order - Reorder columns to match actual flow
  • Add/remove services from cells - Adjust which services map to which steps

Why This Matters

Scenario: Company reorganizes—Finance department splits into Accounts Payable and Treasury departments.

With Nodinite: Edit BPM → add new Treasury domain → move relevant services → done. Historical data remains accessible, BPM reflects new org structure going forward.

Competitors: Often require data migration, lose historical visibility, or force you to maintain legacy BPM definitions alongside new ones.
