Techniques for configuring workflow event processing and identifier federation

Abstract

Event processing techniques for updating a database in real time based on events in a continuous event stream are disclosed. The techniques can update the database to incorporate information from thousands of received events per second. The events can include metrics measuring milestones for an organizational process defined by a user. Moreover, multiple streams can include metrics from many tenants concurrently. The techniques include receiving, from a first user device, information identifying a group identifier for a first action object. The techniques then include assigning the identifier to the first action object and to at least one other action object. The techniques then include transmitting, to a service provider, data identifying the assignment of the group identifier, receiving second information identifying events processed by the service provider, identifying events corresponding to the identifier, and generating a user interface configured to present elements corresponding to the identified events.
