The Microservices Workflow Automation Cheat Sheet – to Centralize or Decentralize?

We recently shared 3 Common Pitfalls in Microservice Integration – and how to avoid them and lots of you wanted more. So this four-part blog series takes us one step back to the things you’ll be considering before migrating to a microservices architecture and applying workflow automation. In this third post in the series, we’ll dive deeper into architecture and discuss whether it’s better to run a workflow engine centralized or decentralized.

Orchestrating Lambdas using Camunda Cloud

At MINEKO we automate the process for reviewing and validating private and commercial utility bills for tenants. We found that 81% of all utility bills issued in Germany are flawed. So we built a team of legal and automation experts to provide our customers with high quality legal checks on utility bills at a fraction of the costs of a lawyer. We recently started using Camunda Cloud as part of Camunda’s private beta program. Our intention was to evaluate it for the traditional use case of running business processes, not knowing that it would completely change our thinking of design patterns regarding orchestration of microservices. This post describes our technical architecture in more depth, alongside the reasons we built it…

Getting Started with Knative

When building applications for Kubernetes, Zeebe can help you orchestrate several microservices. But how do you build those microservices in the first place? How do you connect them in a resilient way? Do you want to leverage the power of Functions as a Service in Kubernetes? The Knative Project was created to provide answers to these exact questions. While I was looking into how Knative will work with Zeebe, I realized it would be really helpful if I created some simple examples to demonstrate how Knative can help you in your projects. It will also help me explain how Zeebe and Knative will integrate and how they can be an amazing combination to build distributed systems. For these reasons, I…
