Generating a Zeebe-Python Client Stub in Less Than An Hour: A gRPC + Zeebe Tutorial
Please note that this blog post has not been updated since its original publication to reflect changes to Zeebe’s gateway.proto file. The general approach for creating a stub that we show here still applies to newer versions of Zeebe, but you may need to make a few modifications depending on which Zeebe version you’re using. The high points: Starting in Zeebe 0.12, Zeebe clients communicate with brokers via a stateless gRPC gateway, with Protocol Buffers used as the interface design language and message interchange format. gRPC makes it easy to generate a “client stub” in any of ten supported programming languages; this means it’s possible to use Zeebe in applications written in not only Java and Go–the languages with officially-supported…

RPA can delay your Digital Transformation
This is the most tangible insight I took away from attending an RPA conference in London this week. It was actually stated by one of the keynote speakers (he literally said: “many organizations use RPA to delay their digital transformation.”). I share this sentiment. Here is an RPA adoption journey that is not inevitable but can happen:

DMN is more than a Decision Table
Decision tables are the most common element from DMN. They are easy to use and can solve many problems. However, DMN has more elements like Business Knowledge Models, Contexts, Literal Expressions, Function Definitions, Invocations and more. In this post, I want to introduce the new extension for DMN and show how it can be used to model an example decision with the full power of DMN.

Event-Driven Orchestration: Message Events and Message Correlation in Zeebe
Zeebe 0.12 supports message events, making it easy to use Zeebe as part of an event-driven architecture; workflow instances can to respond to events published by external systems. And Zeebe handles all of the heavy lifting related to correlating a message to a workflow instance: buffering incoming messages, opening a subscription to receive messages that match with active workflow instances, and correlating a message (when one exists) to a workflow instance that has arrived at a message event. Last month’s Zeebe 0.12 release introduced support for two BPMN elements that are core to Zeebe’s ability to operate in an event-driven architecture: the intermediate message catch event and the receive task. These elements make it possible for workflow instances to react…
