Scaling Zeebe Horizontally: A Simple Benchmark
Note: The specific performance metrics in this blog post are from an earlier release of Zeebe. Since this post was published, work has been done to stabilise Zeebe clusters, and this has changed the performance envelope. You can follow the steps in this blog post to test the current release of Zeebe yourself, and derive the current performance envelope. Zeebe advertises itself as being a “horizontally-scalable workflow engine”. In this post, we cover what that means and how to measure it.

Zeebe: Workflow Reinvented for Microservices and the Cloud (From Idea To Production Readiness)
Last Wednesday, July 17, we announced the first production ready release of Zeebe, Camunda’s new cloud-native workflow engine for microservices orchestration. Zeebe is a new code base, written from scratch, putting forward a completely new way of architecting workflow engines for microservices and distributed systems. This blog post is a quick overview of why and how we did that.

Introducing the Zeebe Community License v1.0
Today, we released Zeebe 0.20.0, and we’re really excited about this release. It’s a milestone for the project and the first time we’re removing the “developer preview” label from Zeebe and designating it “production ready”. You can learn more about Zeebe 0.20.0 here. Along with production readiness, there’s another important update with this release: with Zeebe 0.20.0, we’re introducing the Zeebe Community License v1.0. We decided to make this license change early in the Zeebe journey before we had already reached a “production-ready” state so that users can take applications into production with an understanding of our vision for Zeebe from both a technical and licensing standpoint.

The Camunda Stack In 2018: The Year In Review
The year is coming to an end, so I want to take a moment to consider the progress our product teams have made this year and, most of all, thank everybody for their fantastic work. We have achieved great things this year, taking major steps in our mission to set the standard for workflow automation technology that brings developers and business people together. Where we are coming from and what drives us When we launched the Camunda open source project in 2013, we put forward a very [simple hypothesis]([ref “/post/2013/04/the-camunda-hypothesis.md”]): Business process automation projects are most successful when software developers and business people work together. In our opinion, only BPM software that enabled this was good BPM software. At the…

Reporting Security Issues
Maintaining the security of Camunda BPM is an important task for us. In our documentation, we have published our Security Policy which explains how we deal with security issues. Besides our proactive efforts, it is very valuable to us when we get feedback by the community about security issues which may exist in Camunda itself (or much more commonly) in one of the libraries and dependencies we are using. When you report security issues, we can investigate them, assess their impact on different usage scenarios, provide fixes and publish a security notice. To give you an example: In January, Kai Ullrich from Code White approached us and reported that using Camunda’s API, it is possible, once authenticated, to submit a…

First Camunda Community Day in San Francisco
The first Camunda community day in San Francisco took place on November 9th. More than 80% of people registered actually dropped by which is really great considering that registration was free. It was great to welcome attendees from all over the bay area, including Autodesk, SAP, LinkedIn, Gainsight, Intuit and Zymergen. The highlight of the day was the presentation given by Jimmy Floyd from 24 Hour Fitness. 24 Hour Fitness “is the world’s largest (by memberships) privately owned and operated fitness center chain” (Wikipedia) with more than 400 locations. Jimmy explained how they use Camunda BPM for running their core business processes. They have more than 190 processes in production. BPMN given them great visibility into their business. Before mapping…
