Zeebe on Camunda Cloud: Getting Started

Zeebe is now available as a managed service in the Camunda Cloud. This means that you can experiment with Zeebe without having to set up and manage the broker. Currently it is in beta, and you can apply here to get an account. You will be able do both development and go to production without having to concern yourself with deploying and managing the Zeebe broker on Kubernetes – you can leverage the expertise of the Camunda Cloud Engineering team, who do that full-time. You can still run Zeebe locally or deploy it to the cloud yourself, so this is an additional option rather than a change to anything. This post is a guide to getting started with the Zeebe…

Using the Zeebe Kafka Connector to Orchestrate, Integrate, and More

The Zeebe team just implemented a Kafka Connect Zeebe connector. This is a feature users have been asking for since the start of the project, so let’s give it a closer look. What is Kafka Connect? Kafka Connect is the ecosystem of connectors into or out of Kafka. There are lots of existing connectors, e.g. for databases, key-value stores or file systems. So for example you can read data from a RDMS and push it to Elasticsearch or flat files.

Coming in Zeebe 0.21: Long-polling workers

The upcoming 0.21 release of Zeebe includes a feature many users have been asking for: long-polling for workers. And make sure you stay tuned to the end to find out what a massive deal it is. Zeebe is a radical re-imagining of the workflow engine for the modern world: it uses event sourcing to interpret workflows over immutable streams. In the Zeebe model, workers are de-coupled from the broker. Conceptually, workers “subscribe” to task types on the broker to service. In terms of actual implementation, workers poll the broker for the task type they service. This allows the broker to have no stateful knowledge about workers. The Problem With Polling Every request to the broker for work from a worker…

Scaling Zeebe Horizontally: A Simple Benchmark

Note: The specific performance metrics in this blog post are from an earlier release of Zeebe. Since this post was published, work has been done to stabilise Zeebe clusters, and this has changed the performance envelope. You can follow the steps in this blog post to test the current release of Zeebe yourself, and derive the current performance envelope. Zeebe advertises itself as being a “horizontally-scalable workflow engine”. In this post, we cover what that means and how to measure it.

Zeebe Message Correlation

Message correlation is a powerful feature in Zeebe. It allows you to target a running workflow with a state update from an external system, asynchronously. You can use it to do things like: Update a workflow instance when an item ships from a warehouse, or a customer payment is processed. Cancel a running workflow when a user quits from a game server. Any event in the external world that influences your workflow state. This tutorial uses the JavaScript client, but it serves to illustrate message correlation concepts that are applicable to all language clients. We will use Simple Monitor to inspect the running workflow state. Simple Monitor is a community-supported tool, and is not designed to be used in production…

Podcast: Zeebe and Rust

The latest episode of the Camunda Nation podcast is live, and it features an interview with Mackenzie Clark, the maintainer of the open source Rust client library for Zeebe – Zeebest. Extract from 00:17:18: Mackenzie: Another reason I liked Zeebe a lot is they were using BPMN – which was (an) ISO standard format – for describing workflows, and I think Conductor was not using BPMN – or they had to have some kind of adapter. And so that was another bonus, is it had that legitimacy of ISO. Josh: Yeah, I think Conductor uses its own YAML format, and then from the YAML it generates a diagram, whereas with Zeebe you can go GUI-first and it generates XML in…
