Camunda 8 orchestrates complex business processes that span people, systems, and devices
Camunda 8 delivers scalable, on-demand process automation as a service. Camunda 8 is combined with powerful execution engines for BPMN processes and DMN decisions, and paired with tools for collaborative modeling, operations, and analytics.
This repository contains the Orchestration cluster components of Camunda 8 and Optimize:
- Zeebe - The cloud-native process engine of Camunda 8.
- Tasklist - Complete tasks that require human input.
- Operate - Manage, monitor, and troubleshoot your processes.
- Identity - Manage integrated authentication and authorization.
- Optimize - Improve your processes by identifying constraints in your system.
In addition, the Camunda 8 stack also includes:
- Console - Configure and deploy clusters with Console.
- Web Modeler - Web Application to model BPMN, DMN, & Forms and deploy or start new instances.
- Desktop Modeler - Use Desktop Modeler as a desktop application for modeling BPMN, DMN, and Forms with your local process application project.
- Connectors - Integrate with an external system by using a Connector.
- Management Identity - Manage authentication, access, and authorization for components outside the Orchestration cluster (Console, Web Modeler, and Optimize)
Using Camunda 8, you can:
- Define processes visually in BPMN 2.0
- Choose your programming language
- Deploy with Docker and Kubernetes
- Build processes that react to messages from Kafka and other message queues
- Scale horizontally to handle very high throughput
- Fault tolerance (no relational database required)
- Export process data for monitoring and analysis
- Engage with an active community
