Webinar FAQ Part 1: Monitoring & Orchestrating Your Microservices Landscape using Workflow Automation

Back in March, I conducted the webinar: “Monitoring & Orchestrating Your Microservices Landscape using Workflow Automation”. You can find the recording of the webinar online, as well as the slides. Not only was I overwhelmed by the number of attendees, but we also got a huge list of interesting questions before and, especially, during the webinar. I was able to answer some of these, but ran out of time to answer them all.

The Microservices Workflow Automation Cheat Sheet – Who owns your process model?

We recently shared 3 Common Pitfalls in Microservice Integration – and how to avoid them and lots of you wanted more. So this four-part blog series takes us one step back to the things you’ll be considering before migrating to a microservices architecture and applying workflow automation. In this fourth and final post in the series, we’ll discuss why the physical ownership of process models is so important to ongoing success.

Using the Zeebe Kafka Connector to Orchestrate, Integrate, and More

The Zeebe team just implemented a Kafka Connect Zeebe connector. This is a feature users have been asking for since the start of the project, so let’s give it a closer look. What is Kafka Connect? Kafka Connect is the ecosystem of connectors into or out of Kafka. There are lots of existing connectors, e.g. for databases, key-value stores or file systems. So for example you can read data from a RDMS and push it to Elasticsearch or flat files.

Class Not Found? There’s a simple solution

Generali Switzerland deployed Camunda BPM to production in less than six months, with no prior BPMN knowledge. You’ll find some more details about it in this case study. But integrating and deploying a new tool into your own technical environment is never entirely smooth sailing. In this blog post, we share how Generali’s engineering team was able to troubleshoot issues around running multiple workflow engines in their microservices architecture. You might also want to watch Generali’s presentation at CamundaCon 2018.

How to run Camunda on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF)

Camunda is a popular open source workflow engine that’s very lightweight and developer friendly. If you’re developing in Java you can use it embedded e.g. in Spring Boot applications. Otherwise you simply leverage its REST APIs and language clients, so Camunda can also be used in other programming languages. It can be integrated with basically every technology, including e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ, REST or SOAP.
