Activiti 7: Last week Dev Logs #23

Last week (4/12/17 - 10/12/17) we spend some time some time refining and improving our REST APIs and we are making some interesting progress on the Modelling/Authoring services which will support our new set of front end tools. We are moving forward with distributed monitoring and logging using the ELK stack so expect a blog post about this soon.  I want to highlight a set a blog posts written by one of our community members @daisuke-yoshimoto: (in Japanese) Activiti Advent Calendar 2017
