Executing document workflows using document workflow orchestration runtime

A method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors, a platform independent document workflow specification specifying a document workflow comprising a plurality of steps associated with a document;
• selecting, by the one or more processors and from a plurality of target platforms, a target platform for executing one or more steps of the plurality of steps;
• compiling, by the one or more processors, the platform independent document workflow specification to generate, based on the one or more steps associated with the document, a platform specific document workflow specification configured for execution on a target workflow engine executing on the selected target platform;
• and causing, by the one or more processors and based on the platform specific document workflow specification, the selected target platform to execute the one or more steps associated with the document.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a platform independent document workflow specification specifying a document workflow comprising a plurality of steps associated with a document;
• select, from a plurality of target platforms, a target platform for executing one or more steps of the plurality of steps;
• compile the platform independent document workflow specification to generate, based on the one or more steps associated with the document, a platform specific document workflow specification configured for execution on a target workflow engine executing on using the selected target platform;
• and
• cause, based on the platform specific document workflow specification, the selected target platform to execute the one or more steps associated with the document.
