The Collaborative Community of BPMN enthusiasts
This month 10 years ago, BPMN 2.0 was finalized and adopted as a standard, which in itself is something Camunda is happy to celebrate.But what has happened in the BPM space in the meantime is probably the most interesting thing about BPMN 2.0. A whole ecosystem and community has grown from the standard. While it originally came into existence to give the process building community a unified language, it sparked a lot of independent innovation. This was because turning a visual process language into an executable framework brought in a lot of new ways of thinking about processes, so modelers, engines and reporting tools began springing up – all around the same standard. So 10 years on we’ve arrived at…

How Real Estate company Keller Williams became a Technology Leader
Keller Williams is the world‘s leading real estate agency, employing more than 180,000 agents across the globe. This incredible growth story began in a single office in Texas, USA, in 1983, based on the core belief that real estate is all about relationships.

They envisioned a highly flexible…

Writing a Zeebe Client in 2020
The last time we wrote about creating a Zeebe Client was in November, 2018 in the article “Generating a Zeebe-Python Client Stub in Less Than An Hour: A gRPC + Zeebe Tutorial“. As of June 18, 2020, we have Zeebe client libraries in Java and Go, maintained by the core Zeebe Engineering team, as well as community-supported clients in C#, Delphi, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Rust; as well as Workit – a Node.js client that can talk to both Zeebe and Camunda – and a Zeebe GitHub Action. If you are interested in creating a new Zeebe client library in your favorite language, the 2018 article is still a great place to get started. In this article I want to…
