Camunda Engine Evolution since Activiti Fork

The future of the Activiti Open Source project is currently uncertain. Camunda split from the Activiti project in 2013. Since then, we maintained our own open source fork of the original Activiti Codebase. The objective of this post is to illustrate the diverging directions the two projects have taken and to serve as input for users who now consider migrating from Activiti to Camunda. The first part focuses on two key topics: core BPMN Execution and the persistence layer. For me, after all the feature talk and the marketing-hurrah is said and done, BPMN and persistence is where the meat is. In the second part, I compare the current state of the Camunda codebase to the (unreleased) Activiti 6.

Benchmarking the Performance of the camunda DMN Engine

With camunda 7.4, we released the new Camunda DMN engine. Some people asked how fast the DMN engine is. So I created a benchmark measuring the number of decision tables the DMN engine can evaluate per second. Below you’ll see that I can push the performance to > 200.000 evaluated decisions / second on my notebook, using a single thread!
