Camunda Cloud Console Go Client Library

When working with multiple projects and multiple Cloud Services automation becomes a must. Camunda Cloud resources such as Zeebe Clusters and Camunda Operate are no different from other components such as Databases, or Message brokers, these need to be provisioned for your applications to connect with. This project allows you to connect to the Camunda Cloud Console using the Go language or a command-line tool, allowing you to create automation around when remote environments are created and destroyed. You can connect to these APIs using any language as these APIs are just REST endpoints, but if you have automated pipelines using a command-line tool might be the best fit for you.  This project provides a binary that you can download…

Communication Between Loosely Coupled Microservices

In our recent webinar titled “Communication Between Loosely Coupled Microservices” we got a lot of great questions and because of the limited time some were left unanswered. As community questions are really important to me I want to follow my tradition to answer remaining questions in a blog post (as I have for example also done roughly a year ago in “Webinar FAQ for Monitoring & Orchestrating Your Microservices Landscape using Workflow Automation”). What Was The Webinar About? You can find the slides (here) and recording (here) online. The webinar covered different styles of communication. This was explained by looking at how ordering food works: The communication style is very different from styles of collaboration of services, which was also discussed: The following table gives an…

Swagger API access with Camunda Platform

Have you ever fired up the Camunda Platform Docker instance and wished you could do live-calls to the API via a swagger server? We have! And like most things we wish we could do, we go out and make it happen. Coming soon To be clear, this integration is coming to the official Camunda Platform Docker container with release 7.15. It’s just not ready yet. So this is really more of an interim solution rather than the be-all and end-all solution, but it works, and it makes sending API calls to a live instance of Camunda Platform a lot easier. So follow along and we’ll show you how to run it yourself. CORS is your friend, and not your friend In general, and…

Send Slack Messages direct from Camunda Cloud

This article is the fourth in a series exploring fun, straightforward ways you can control workflows using Camunda Cloud — have a read of the others for some background if you’d like to see Camunda Cloud in action with Restzeebe, without a line of code: Do you use Slack? How about adding a level of automation to this widely used collaboration tool, that is making email obsolete in many organizations? Let’s say you already widely use Slack in your company and want to receive an active notification when a new user has registered to your service? You can create a new channel just for that purpose and all Slack users who are interested can join the channel. If you already have an onboarding…

“Hello Cloud”

Setting up your Telegram channel with Camunda Cloud  If you’re a runner, then you know it’s important to change your running shoes from time to time. I’ve run many miles with the Camunda Platform. I’ve used it for my own projects, for tutorials, and taught people how to use it in workshops. Now, it’s time to put on some new shoes: it’s time to automate a process with Camunda Cloud. If you’ve also been using Camunda Platform and are interested in what it looks like to move to Camunda Cloud, come for a run with me. In the continuing pandemic situation, I need to stay informed, and know as soon as the situation relaxes. I find myself checking the Corona…

How can you Teach a Workflow to Execute a specific task?

If you read the first article in this series, I might have been able to convince you about executable processes? In this blog, the second in the series, I would like to go a step further and show you, with Restzeebe, how concrete tasks within processes are executed by a workflow engine. All my examples use Camunda Cloud. I don’t know of any other solution that executes workflows models in BPMN in the cloud. But now to the real thing. How can you teach a workflow to execute a specific task? I don’t want to go into too much detail, but with Camunda Cloud it works like this: Zeebe, the underlying engine, uses a PubSub system for workers. A worker is essentially the software that executes…

Is there an alternative to spaghetti?

When it comes to food, definitely not. Spaghetti Bolognese needs few ingredients, is quickly prepared and always tastes great – at least to me 😉 But what I am actually getting at? Spaghetti Code. In contrast to a meal, Spaghetti Code is not eaten up in a few minutes. It stays, is extended, changes, grows and grows and grows. It is the same with microservices. If you start with microservices, you always have to consider how fine-grained services are cut. In the end, the spaghetti effect shifts from code to orchestrating components. This component must know all the small services and connect them with each other. The same can be found in manual activities that have not been automated or…

chor-js – an Editor for BPMN Choreography Diagrams

Let’s say you are craving your favorite pizza from that pizza place a ten-minute walk away. You call them up, place your order, and are then asked whether you would like to have the pizza delivered or pick it up yourself. In your mind, you think about how convenient it would be to have a delivery driver knock on your door and hand you the pizza within half an hour or so, but then again it is only a short walk, and some fresh air would really do you good… Putting somewhat existential questions aside, what we just described is a prime example for a so-called choreography in Business Process Management. Different participants (you, the pizza place and the delivery…
