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 core execution cluster components of Camunda 8:

• Zeebe - The cloud-native process engine of Camunda 8.
• Tasklist - Complete tasks that require human input.
• Operate - Manage, monitor, and troubleshoot your processes.
• Optimize - Improve your processes by identifying constraints in your system.

In addition to the core execution cluster components, 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.

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
