The ASEE Flow Engine can be used in a Spring Boot application by using provided Spring Boot starters. Spring boot starters allow to enable behavior of your spring-boot application by adding dependencies to the classpath. These starters will pre-configure the ASEE Flow process engine, REST API and Web applications, so they can easily be used in a standalone process application. If you are not familiar with Spring Boot, read the getting started guide or use the ASEE Flow Initializr. To enable ASEE Flow auto configuration, add the following dependency to your pom.xml: 
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>{{< minor-version >}}.0</version>
</dependency>
This will add the ASEE Flow engine v.7.23.0 to your dependencies. Other starters that can be used are:

Using Enterprise Edition

To use ASEE Flow Spring Boot Starter with ASEE Flow EE you need to define the EE version of the webapp (camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp-ee instead of camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp), see also Web Applications: 
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp-ee</artifactId>
  <version>{{< minor-version >}}.0-ee</version>
</dependency>
