Refactoring an Actor Model System from Nact.io to Camunda Cloud

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Open Source Erlang language and the Erlang virtual machine. Renowned for its reliability, the ability to hot-patch running code, and the Actor model, Erlang has been incredibly influential in software development, particularly in scalable distributed systems. If you look through the Zeebe source code, you’ll see Actor components sprinkled throughout. Zeebe core engineer Deepthi Akkoorath did her PhD thesis in Scalable Consistency in theMulti-core Era and is a huge fan of Erlang. Here is a video of Deepthi describing the architecture of Zeebe, the workflow engine powering Camunda Cloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbXKgQQmukE A couple of months ago, I wrote a statistics collector for the Camunda DevRel team. You can see the project in the…

Camunda’s 2021 Predictions

The past year has been a wild ride. From remote work, homeschooling and pets on Zoom calls, to almost everybody discovering a surprising talent for baking. Banana bread aside, 2020 has been a milestone year for technology. One where the world realized that end-to-end process automation, powered by agile, scalable technologies, and combined with IT and business collaboration, are key ingredients for the new decade. So, what else do we think will be on the cards in 2021? Continuous Delivery, microservices, RPA, new emerging uses for process automation or even more uses for process audit data? Here’s a taste of the trends we believe will emerge in the coming year: An RPA Headache is brewing Companies like Deutsche Telekom have…

Intuit: empowering SMBs with Process Automation

Small and medium-sized businesses face the same challenges as their bigger peers when customer and process numbers and, ultimately, revenue start to increase. However, unlike multinational enterprises and corporates, SMBs often lack the financial means to set up sophisticated IT departments to properly implement workflow and process automation. This is where Intuit comes in. Intuit provides software solutions for SMBs that empower them to automate their workflows using simple forms and templates, thus digitizing their businesses. This approach quickly pays off for its customers. In fact, Deloitte’s Connected Small Businesses US report reveals the most digitally advanced small businesses in the United States are more likely to create jobs and manage to significantly increase both revenue and top-line growth. At…

Speeding Up RPA through Behavioural Observation

As more businesses leverage RPA to address the pain-points associated with individual components in legacy systems, it’s worth considering how to best introduce and integrate these tools to your advantage. At CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, Andres Jimenez Ramirez from the Universidad de Sevilla, and Hajo A. Reijers from Utrecht University, explained how taking a human-centered approach to RPA implementation pays dividends in the future. Their research explores how RPA implementations typically mimic the behavior of human employees to automate manual tasks. In order to initially introduce RPA tools, most commercial platforms rely on a manual analysis to identify the tasks suitable for RPA automation. However, manual analysis is hugely time-consuming. It does not only involve the analysis of documentation, it is…

Creating a Frictionless Enterprise: Five Fundamentals

What if you could remove all of the friction in your enterprise, allowing for a streamlined, perfectly aligned flow of information across both internal and external stakeholders? Manuel Sevilla — Chief Digital Officer of Business Services at Capgemini — recently shared his thoughts on this topic at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, identifying the framework businesses must adopt to embrace the frictionless attitude. Let’s take a closer look at the five fundamentals enterprises should consider when trying to increase efficiency, get to market faster, and provide users with an enhanced experience. 1.

Virtual Conference Swag

One of the things that I love about being a Developer Advocate is attending and speaking at conferences. I loved that as a developer – in fact, I first met (now, fellow-) Camunda Developer Advocate Niall Deehan at the Camunda booth when speaking at NDC Oslo, in 2017. A essential part of the conference experience is getting some cool swag. My wardrobe is literally 70% conference and swag t-shirts. But as a Developer Advocate, I get to be one of the people handing out cool swag (as well as still snagging some cool stuff while I’m there). The recent move to online events has changed the world – creating some constraints, but also opening some novel possibilities: No more travelling…

Zeebe Performance Tuning tool

Falko Menge, one of our Camunda Consultants, has released a performance benchmarking/tuning tool that he has been using for the past year with Camunda customers to tune Zeebe for their production workloads. It is a spreadsheet template for creating and recording performance tests, and observing the effects of the various parameters on performance. We did a live stream explaining how it works, which you can view here. The spreadsheet itself is available here. You can make a copy of the spreadsheet and use it for your own testing. If you want to watch a longer explanation of the parameters, we did a more detailed stream on it a month ago, which you can watch here. If you want to provide…

Hyperautomation: The Future of Process Automation

Process automation has undergone a significant evolution in the past decade, but the next step is perhaps the largest of all: hyperautomation. Described as the convergence of RPA, AI, BPM and almost any other technological building brick of the digital age, Gartner sees hyperautomation as one of the top 10 most important strategic tech trends of 2020. As no single tool can replace humans, hyperautomation today involves a combination of tools, including robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business management software (iBPMS) and AI, with a goal of increasingly AI-driven decision making. Source What is Hyperautomation? In an interactive discussion between Camunda CEO Jakob Freund and Gartner Research Director Saikat Ray, at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, the pair explained that it’s important…
