Camunda 8: agentic orchestration platform
Camunda 8 is an agentic orchestration platform. Build AI agents directly in your BPMN processes, and orchestrate them together with external agents, people, and systems. Each process combines deterministic BPMN flows and DMN decisions with dynamic steps where an AI agent decides what to do next. Built for the enterprise, Camunda 8 comes 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
- Build AI agents as part of your processes, or orchestrate agents built with any framework
- 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
