Complex multi-repo builds with GitHub Actions and Camunda Cloud

BLUF (Bottom-line Up-front): GitHub Actions are AWESOME and will change your life, but you risk losing yourself in a microservices architecture of repos, or have to go monolith once you get a few dependent projects or cross service provider boundaries – unless you orchestrate. I show you how I did it in this article. Get access to the Camunda Cloud Public Access Beta here. Use the Zeebe GitHub Action to orchestrate multi-repo builds with Zeebe and Camunda Cloud. In this article: Preamble What are GitHub Actions? GitHub Actions: The Good GitHub Actions: The Bad GitHub Actions: The Ugly Custom CI with GitHub Actions and Camunda Cloud Zeebe GitHub Action Modelling the problem / solution Starting a Camunda Cloud workflow from…

Incident Alert Exporter

I took a break today from the article I’m working on about “Orchestrating GitHub Actions with Zeebe and Camunda Cloud” (stay tuned, because it is lit) to build an exporter for Zeebe, one that can alert you whenever an incident is raised – for example via Pushover, Pager Duty, or by calling you via the Twilio API. If you just want to see the code, it is on GitHub: Zeebe Incident Alerter. There are a couple of videos of the stream of me coding it at the end of the post if you want to see that. Using tutorials to write Zeebe extensions I followed a couple of tutorials from June last year to accomplish it – Writing a Zeebe…

Announcing the Camunda Cloud Public Beta: Workflow Engineered for the Cloud (For Everyone!)

Tl;dr the Camunda Cloud beta is now open to everyone! You can sign up here. Last September at CamundaCon Berlin, we unveiled Camunda Cloud: a scalable, on-demand workflow platform. Camunda Cloud is the first BPMN-based workflow technology that’s been engineered specifically for the cloud and offered as an on-demand cloud service. It was a major milestone for our company.

Performance Profiling Zeebe

We frequently get questions about Zeebe’s performance. The answer to any performance question is easy: “It depends“. In this post, Zeebe Developer Advocate Josh Wulf and Zeebe Community member Klaus Nji talk about what it depends on, and how you can get performance benchmarks that answer the question that you actually want to answer: “Can Zeebe do what I need it to do, and how do I need to configure it to do that?“ As Albert Einstein famously said: “There are lies, damned lies, and then there are benchmarks” (or was that Aristotle?) Every system has a performance envelope. It is multi-dimensional, and its boundaries change in response to different variables. How the boundaries change and the rate of that…

Zeebe Kubernetes Operator (experimental)

I am happy to announce the experimental release of the Zeebe Kubernetes Operator. If you are looking at Zeebe and Kubernetes together the Zeebe Kubernetes Operator should improve your journey to provision and manage Zeebe Clusters. Here is a more detailed blog post about how to use it and how it works. This are very early stages of the project, that means it is a great time to get involved, provide feedback and if you are interested get in touch to work on some issues. Get in touch Is there a Zeebe topic that you’d like to see explored more deeply in a blog post? Let our dev advocates know on Twitter! Josh Salaboy Questions? Feedback? If you have questions…

Zeebe and Operate Alpha Releases: December 2019 Edition

We’re back with another round of Zeebe and Operate alpha releases just in time for the end of 2019, and we’re excited to share what’s new. You can find out how to get started with Zeebe and Operate in the docs. In the rest of the post, we’ll highlight the new capabilities included in this release. BPMN Support in Zeebe: Event Subprocess with Message Start Event In our November 2019 alpha release post, we announced support for the timer event subprocess, and with this alpha2 release, we’ve added support for the interrupting and non-interrupting message event subprocess, too. As an example, let’s refer to our typical e-commerce order fulfillment process. Imagine that some items in a customer’s order aren’t always…

Going to Zero-Scale Zeebe on Camunda Cloud with Cloudflare Workers

I get questions about running Zeebe at “zero-scale”. That means workers that consume no resources when there are no tasks to perform. The Zeebe service on Camunda Cloud includes a generic HTTP-Worker that can be used to achieve this. The HTTP-Worker polls for jobs of type “Camunda-HTTP”, and then invokes a REST endpoint based on the HTTP verb and URL set in the task headers. If you are not on Camunda Cloud you can use zeebe-http-worker, or just write your own. In combination with “serverless” functions, this can be used to achieve a zero-scale architecture. Cloudflare workers are serverless processes that run in response to REST requests at the edge of Cloudflare’s hosting infrastructure. “At the edge” means that a…
