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.

The (Re-)Emergence of Workflow Automation
This blog post is based on the keynote I presented at CamundaCon 2018. It covers these four points: We’re all turning into technology companies. Digital Transformation relies on Business Process Automation (BPA). BPA is a technology puzzle that suits your business. Workflow automation is always one piece of that puzzle.

Announcing the Zeebe 0.12 Release: Message Correlation, Parallel Processing, and More
The Zeebe team is excited to announce the 0.12 release. To get started with Zeebe 0.12, please see our installation guide. It’s been 3 months since the Zeebe 0.11 release, and we’ve been hard at work adding new BPMN symbols that will enable Zeebe to support a range of new use cases. The 0.12 release also includes a number of architectural changes to Zeebe that make it a much simpler system that’s more focused on its core use case: high-throughput, low-latency workflow automation.
