Host and Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan is joined by Senior Software Engineer Backend, Deepthi Akkoorath to learn more about this new feature and how it came to be, including the technical challenges we overcame and decisions we made, as well as what’s next for scaling Zeebe. 

Zeebe, the cloud-native workflow and decision engine that powers Camunda 8, has many next-generation capabilities, including a language-agnostic approach so you can build clients in any programming language, enterprise-grade resilience, and horizontal scaling via a distributed architecture. We have further improved this last one by providing the ability to dynamically scale Zeebe brokers and are committed to further enhancing this feature in the future.

On this episode of the Camunda Community Podcast we are celebrating 10 years of bpmn.io–can you believe it?–with host and Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan and special guest Nico Rehwaldt, the creator of bpmn.io and principal engineer here at Camunda. 

Today, bpmn.io has a vibrant community of active users and contributors, has gone beyond Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), and is used throughout almost every front end Camunda product. 

But this was not always the case. 

Join us on this journey from the starting vision, “BPMN everywhere, for everyone,” through inspiring community contributions and scope jumps (Hello Decision Model and Notation [DMN] and forms!), all the way to what the next 10 years might hold. 

Listen to learn more about: 
bpmn.io and why it’s a set of libraries instead of an appWhy Nico believes Camunda is lucky he was asked to build a solution for drawing BPMNA very brief history of modeling toolsJust how extensible bpmn.io really isFun things the community has built with bpmn.ioWhat the bpmn.io team doesBPMN lintingToken simulationOne of Niall’s proudest moments

Developer-friendliness is at our core and developer-friendly process orchestration is our passion. We believe pro-code concepts are absolutely essential to addressing the complexity of real-world automation. That is why we are combining pro-code capabilities with the ability to encapsulate code into reusable modules that we call “low-code accelerators.” These shortcuts are meant to benefit both technical and non-technical users. 
In this episode, we will follow along the journey of one citizen developer as she learned how to develop executable processes. Listen as Senior Technical Community Builder Mia Moore chats with Community Manager Maria Alcantara about her role here at Camunda, what inspired her to gain more technical process automation skills, and how this experience has enabled her to better collaborate with technical users like IT and software developers, provide feedback based on her experience, and grow in confidence. Mia and Maria also discuss their favorite Camunda 8 features as well as tips and resources for learning more about BPMN, DMN, and Camunda–spoiler alert: our Community is one of them.

Since we introduced Camunda Platform 8, migration has been a hot topic among Camundi and users. For us, this is an ongoing topic that continues to evolve as we receive feedback from our community and customers, and as new technologies emerge. 
On this episode of the Camunda Community Podcast, Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan chats with Senior Consultant Manuel (aka Manu) Dittmar and Consultant Jonathan Lukas about the three main pillars of migrating to Camunda Platform 8 from Camunda 7: model migration, business logic migration, and data migration. This is a lot to cover, so we’re breaking it down into two episodes. 

In Part 1, Niall has plenty of questions for Manu (aka Manuel) and Jonathan regarding the strategy and practical implementation of migrating models and business logic. We start off discussing a brief history of Camunda 8; our key consideration points including documentation and tooling for helping customers and users migrate; and how the architecture of Camunda 8 better aligns with modern software architecture and service orchestration, creating a much faster workflow and decision engine.

Connectors are reusable building blocks that can communicate with any system or technology, providing unlimited flexibility and reducing the time it takes to automate and orchestrate business processes. Ever since we introduced Connectors with Camunda Platform 8, excitement has been growing and we’ve added more and more of them to meet the ever-increasing number of use cases. 
In this episode, Senior Technical Community Builder Mia Moore chats with Bastian Korber, senior product manager for Connectors and the Integration Framework, about Outbound and Inbound Connectors, their architectures, example use cases, and what’s next. Listen to learn about the main differences between the two, how Connectors can be deployed to build better processes and save you time, and why Bastian calls Inbound Connectors a “game-changer.”
