Stateful Orchestration (or, Why Your Microservices Application Needs a Brain)

When checking in for a flight online, normal people hope that everything works the way it’s supposed to. That usually means no error messages, and at the end of the process, getting a boarding pass in your selected format. We at Camunda, however, are not “normal people”. A problem during check-in is a bit of a thrill for us because it gives us a peek into how a company handles software failures in a high-traffic application. We never know exactly what’s happening under the hood, of course, but we like to speculate.

BPMN and Microservices Orchestration, Part 2 of 2: Graphical Models, Simplified Sagas, and Cross-functional Collaboration

This is part 2 in a 2-part series about BPMN and how it’s being applied to new use cases. You can find part 1 here. A sincere thanks to Bernd Rücker for his feedback during the writing of both blog posts. Welcome back to our discussion of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) and its role in emerging use cases such as microservices orchestration. You don’t have to read the posts in order to be able to follow along, but if you’re new to BPMN, you might find it helpful to start with part 1. To recap, the first post covered: An introduction to BPMN Why a well-established standard that thrived in the past can thrive in the future, too…

BPMN and Microservices Orchestration, Part 1 of 2: Flow Languages, Engines, and Timeless Patterns

A sincere thanks to Bernd Rücker for his feedback during the writing of this blog post. This is part 1 of 2 in a 2-part blog post series. Part 2 is available here. We’re building Zeebe to be a next-generation workflow engine for emerging use cases such as microservices orchestration–use cases that may require an engine to handle hundreds of thousands (or millions) of new workflow instances per second. And to do that, we’re using a graphical modeling standard that’s been around for almost 15 years: BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation).

The ‘Platformization’ of Workflow at Goldman Sachs: A Camunda Day NYC Recap

In June 2018, Camunda hosted a Camunda Days New York City event at the Galvanize space in SoHo, our second New York community event in the past 12 months. Members of the Camunda team from our Berlin, Denver, and San Francisco offices traveled to spend time with the local user and customer community and to share updates on Camunda’s product lineup, from Zeebe to Optimize. Headlining the event was an in-depth presentation from Richard Tarling and Randall Graebner of Goldman Sachs, who discussed how the firm has built widely-used internal platforms for both workflows and decisions. “Platformization” of workflow tooling inside of companies is a common trend, and the presentation provides a behind-the-scenes look at how such a platform has…

We’ve Opened the 2018 Microservices Orchestration Survey, and We’re Looking For Your Input

When we talk about Zeebe, we also talk a lot about the challenges that organizations face when managing business processes that span many independent microservices. “Microservices orchestration” is a useful term for describing one potential solution to this problem. But every organization will take a different approach to a microservices architecture, and we want to be sure we have a clear understanding of what microservices orchestration means to the many different users who might benefit from Zeebe.
