Virtual Conference Swag

One of the things that I love about being a Developer Advocate is attending and speaking at conferences. I loved that as a developer – in fact, I first met (now, fellow-) Camunda Developer Advocate Niall Deehan at the Camunda booth when speaking at NDC Oslo, in 2017. A essential part of the conference experience is getting some cool swag. My wardrobe is literally 70% conference and swag t-shirts. But as a Developer Advocate, I get to be one of the people handing out cool swag (as well as still snagging some cool stuff while I’m there). The recent move to online events has changed the world – creating some constraints, but also opening some novel possibilities: No more travelling…

Should data be embedded in business processes? It depends!

In October, I had the opportunity to lead a session at Camunda Unconference. This was a rather unique event, with an “unconference” format designed specifically for the community; it was most conducive to great peer-to-peer discussions, and exchange of ideas, experiences and learnings. What was also interesting was that the topics for the sessions were sourced from within the community, and each topic was voted in to a final shortlist. The sessions themselves were discussion-led, to encourage collaboration and creativity. Data in Process I had voted for “Data in Process” as one of the topics; it has always intrigued me, and needless to say, I was thrilled at the opportunity to lead the session! I have been consulting for customers building…

Zeebe Performance Tuning tool

Falko Menge, one of our Camunda Consultants, has released a performance benchmarking/tuning tool that he has been using for the past year with Camunda customers to tune Zeebe for their production workloads. It is a spreadsheet template for creating and recording performance tests, and observing the effects of the various parameters on performance. We did a live stream explaining how it works, which you can view here. The spreadsheet itself is available here. You can make a copy of the spreadsheet and use it for your own testing. If you want to watch a longer explanation of the parameters, we did a more detailed stream on it a month ago, which you can watch here. If you want to provide…

Testing Process Dependencies

Welcome to the next post in our blog series: “Treat your processes like code – test them!” You can find the last post: “Testing entire process paths” here. Today’s topic is “Testing process dependencies”. For the execution of a model, there are often additional resources required. This might be source code or the dependency on other models. But how can we deal with this when testing our models? In this post we will take a closer look at the following dependencies: We will get to know another library that will help us with testing: camunda-bpm-mockito. The examples for this blog post can be found in this GitHub repository. In the last post, we took a closer look at a small…

Hacktoberfest Retro

Hacktoberfest is a wrap! We’re so pleased that we were able to connect with so many of you from around the world. We set out with a goal of increasing the amount of engagement we get in our GitHub repos and you all delivered! From fixing typos to diving head-long into big feature requests, it was inspiring to see the pull requests that came in. Here are a few of my favorite recaps from the month: Two separate community members translated Tasklist into Hindi and Nepali. A third community member translated Admin, Cockpit, Tasklist and our Welcome Message into Brazilian Portuguese… with proper updates for the 7.14 release Another community member closed a 2-year-old feature request for Camunda to support…

Hyperautomation: The Future of Process Automation

Process automation has undergone a significant evolution in the past decade, but the next step is perhaps the largest of all: hyperautomation. Described as the convergence of RPA, AI, BPM and almost any other technological building brick of the digital age, Gartner sees hyperautomation as one of the top 10 most important strategic tech trends of 2020. As no single tool can replace humans, hyperautomation today involves a combination of tools, including robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business management software (iBPMS) and AI, with a goal of increasingly AI-driven decision making. Source What is Hyperautomation?  In an interactive discussion between Camunda CEO Jakob Freund and Gartner Research Director Saikat Ray, at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, the pair explained that it’s important…
