We are excited to release the first alpha of the Camunda External Task Client (Java). A Workflow Engine typically calls Service Tasks actively.

We are so excited to announce what the team has been cooking for the past few weeks: camunda-external-task-client.js, a Node.js client for Camunda External Tasks!

You cannot add constraints on your domain objects.
