Distributed Workflow Engine for Microservices Orchestration
Zeebe provides visibility into and control over business processes that span multiple microservices. It is the engine that powers Camunda Platform 8.
Why Zeebe?
Our release cadence within major releases is a minor release every six months, with an alpha release on each of the five months between minor releases. Releases happen on the second Tuesday of the month, Berlin time (CET).
Minor releases are supported with patches for eighteen months after their release.
Here is a diagram illustrating the lifecycle of minor releases over a 27-month period:
