Zeebe Message Correlation
Message correlation is a powerful feature in Zeebe. It allows you to target a running workflow with a state update from an external system, asynchronously. You can use it to do things like: Update a workflow instance when an item ships from a warehouse, or a customer payment is processed. Cancel a running workflow when a user quits from a game server. Any event in the external world that influences your workflow state. This tutorial uses the JavaScript client, but it serves to illustrate message correlation concepts that are applicable to all language clients. We will use Simple Monitor to inspect the running workflow state. Simple Monitor is a community-supported tool, and is not designed to be used in production…

Podcast: Zeebe and Rust
The latest episode of the Camunda Nation podcast is live, and it features an interview with Mackenzie Clark, the maintainer of the open source Rust client library for Zeebe – Zeebest. Extract from 00:17:18: Mackenzie: Another reason I liked Zeebe a lot is they were using BPMN – which was (an) ISO standard format – for describing workflows, and I think Conductor was not using BPMN – or they had to have some kind of adapter. And so that was another bonus, is it had that legitimacy of ISO. Josh: Yeah, I think Conductor uses its own YAML format, and then from the YAML it generates a diagram, whereas with Zeebe you can go GUI-first and it generates XML in…

Zeebe Workflows Inside a REST Request/Response
In the Zeebe Slack and the Forum, a number of users have been inquiring about initiating a Zeebe workflow via a REST request, and returning the outcome of the workflow in the REST response. Zeebe workflows are fully decoupled, asynchronous, and have no awaitable outcome. This means there is nothing out-of-the-box right now to do this. We are evaluating demand for this feature in GitHub, both in terms of its eventual shape and its priority. Let’s look at the problem in more detail, how we can match it with Zeebe’s model, and a few different solutions that you can implement now. I’m going to be using the TypeScript Zeebe client for code examples in this article, but the concepts are…
