CamundaCon 2019 – AXA and viadee: Transformation from a self-built process engine

Niko Vogel, Manager IT-BPM and Product Owner AXA Konzern AG; and Matthias Schulte, Senior Consultant – Competence Center “BPM and Process Automation”, viadee Unternehmensberatung AG, are some of Camunda’s longest-standing users. In fact, Niko has joined us on stage before, presenting at Camunda Days in Stockholm and Brussels. If you were fortunate enough to score a seat at those events – you’ll know this CamundaCon presentation from the forward-thinking pair is not to be missed! Read on for highlights of their talk, and what they’re looking forward to at CamundaCon 2019.

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 Zeebe Story

I’m incredibly excited that Zeebe is now GA and ready to be used in production. You can download the distribution and inspect the source code on GitHub. Zeebe implements fundamentally new concepts for workflow automation which allow for unprecedented horizontal scalability. With Zeebe, you can orchestrate microservices of any scale while ensuring complete visibility into the executed business processes. This solves one of the major problems we are seeing in the software development space today, a problem that cannot be solved by any of the existing workflow products in the market.

Solving Santa’s Sequencing Problem Using Domain Narrowing Constraint Propagation Based on DMN collect hit policies.

CamundaCon 2019 is just around the corner! Rob Parker, Enterprise Architect at Australia Post, will be presenting Innovative Problems For Elegant Solutions and he’s shared with us a sneak peak at the kind of out-of-the-box thinking his presentation will cover: Everybody is likely familiar with Sudoku puzzles. When I solve them, I typically use little pencil marks to track which values are still feasible in unresolved cells. In other words, for each unresolved cell, I annotate it with the set of remaining possible values or its domain. As each cell is solved, the implication is propagated to its neighboring cells by crossing off the infeasible values (domain narrowing) from each set of candidate values. This technique is effectively a form…

How to Find NullPointerExceptions for Process Variables During Build Time

The viadee Process Application Validator (vPAV) was released well over a year ago on GitHub in order to check the interplay of models and code as part of a CI build. Since then vPAV has gained traction and more features were developed. It also provides extensibility to create your own set of checkers. The major release version 3.0.0 comes with many new features, such as a revamped HTML report, inheritance of rules, multiple instantiations of checkers with varying configurations, remote location of process models, multi-language support and most of all a reworked ProcessVariableModelChecker (see release notes). Process Variable Flow Validation For the better part of the last two months, the ProcessVariableModelChecker has been reworked to finally lift the experimental status…

The Journey of Camunda BPM Asserts: From Extension to Platform

For the people who have been in any way involved with the Camunda Community the last few years, this is unlikely to be the first time you’ve heard the name Martin Schimak. Also if you’re a developer using Camunda, chances are that, perhaps unbeknownst to you – you’ve been greatly helped by some of the projects that Martin has created and released as open source extensions for the platform. Having people like Martin as part of the Camunda Community is an important factor to the success and adoption of the Open Source platform, so I wanted to talk to Martin about how he came to be such a positive influence on the project. Perhaps learning from him how to encourage…

Camunda BPM on Kubernetes

Running Camunda BPM on Kubernetes Are you running Kubernetes now? Ready to move your Camunda BPM instances off of VMs, or just try it out on Kubernetes? We will address some common configurations and provide some building blocks you can tailor to your particular needs. Skill level: Intermediate You’ve used Kubernetes before. If not, why not try a tutorial and spin up your first cluster? Authors Alastair Firth is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on the Camunda Cloud team. Lars Lange is a Devops Engineer at Camunda. TL:DR; git clone https://github.com/camunda-cloud/camunda-examples.git cd camunda-examples/camunda-bpm-demo make skaffold Ok that probably didn’t work unless you have skaffold and kustomize installed. Read on! What is Camunda BPM Camunda BPM is an open source platform…

Camunda BPM – Session Management in Cloud Environments

In the last few years we’ve noticed many of our users are migrating from bare-metal infrastructures to cloud-based ones. While the cloud has overcome several limitations of the traditional infrastructure, other problems arise when deploying your microservices in environments that have the possibility to scale up and down dynamically based on workload. When deploying Camunda BPM, the first problem that you will encounter will be, most probably, session management.While this is easily solvable in traditional environments by using sticky sessions, the same solution does not apply when you deal with cloud environments like, Kubernetes. The reason is that sticky sessions do not behave well in dynamic environments since they expect the underlying infrastructure to be static. Recently we’ve been working…
