The Job Executor: What Is Going on in My Process Engine?
Sometimes we start a process, and after some initial processing, it does not continue for no apparent reason. Usually, this happens at asynchronous continuations or BPMN timer events, so points in the process where the job executor, the process engine’s component for deferred work, takes over. While the job executor is a well-tested and battle-proven piece of software, it is not a closed system. It integrates with a relational database, an application server and the processes and applications it runs. Problems with job execution typically arise in this interaction of components. In this article, we look at common reasons why job execution can be delayed or stuck, how to diagnose, and how to resolve them.

Transactional Email Microservice with Zeebe and NestJS
NestJS is a JavaScript Microservices framework for Node.js inspired by Angular. For some time now, front-end developers have been able to get the benefits of configuration by convention, dependency injection, and composition using decorators to build code bases whose structure can scale. Now it’s time for backend developers to get the same benefits. NestJS is a framework that clearly meets a need felt in the community – it was the fastest growing Node.js framework in 2018 (measured by GitHub stars). NestJS leverages TypeScript, decorators, and the MVC architecture to enable developers to build applications that communicate over REST, WebSockets, gRPC, and GraphQL. With a new library from Dan Shapir – nestjs-zeebe – you can now integrate Zeebe into a NestJS…
