How to Find NullPointerExceptions for Process Variables During Build Time
The viadee Process Application Validator (vPAV) was released well over a year ago on GitHub in order to check the interplay of models and code as part of a CI build. Since then vPAV has gained traction and more features were developed. It also provides extensibility to create your own set of checkers. The major release version 3.0.0 comes with many new features, such as a revamped HTML report, inheritance of rules, multiple instantiations of checkers with varying configurations, remote location of process models, multi-language support and most of all a reworked ProcessVariableModelChecker (see release notes). Process Variable Flow Validation For the better part of the last two months, the ProcessVariableModelChecker has been reworked to finally lift the experimental status…

The Journey of Camunda BPM Asserts: From Extension to Platform
For the people who have been in any way involved with the Camunda Community the last few years, this is unlikely to be the first time you’ve heard the name Martin Schimak. Also if you’re a developer using Camunda, chances are that, perhaps unbeknownst to you – you’ve been greatly helped by some of the projects that Martin has created and released as open source extensions for the platform. Having people like Martin as part of the Camunda Community is an important factor to the success and adoption of the Open Source platform, so I wanted to talk to Martin about how he came to be such a positive influence on the project. Perhaps learning from him how to encourage…

Camunda BPM – Session Management in Cloud Environments
In the last few years we’ve noticed many of our users are migrating from bare-metal infrastructures to cloud-based ones. While the cloud has overcome several limitations of the traditional infrastructure, other problems arise when deploying your microservices in environments that have the possibility to scale up and down dynamically based on workload. When deploying Camunda BPM, the first problem that you will encounter will be, most probably, session management.While this is easily solvable in traditional environments by using sticky sessions, the same solution does not apply when you deal with cloud environments like, Kubernetes. The reason is that sticky sessions do not behave well in dynamic environments since they expect the underlying infrastructure to be static. Recently we’ve been working…
