This article shows the fastest way to get a Camunda Platform server running on Microsoft Azure with command line usage. You should be comfortable with using a command-line interface (CLI), otherwise please switch to my blog “Anyone can run Camunda BPM on Azure in 10 Minutes”. The resulting server will be suitable as a (shared, insecure) playground accessible via the internet. It is not a secure setup suitable for production usage. A technical operator setting up a production system would certainly approach things differently and possibly choose different Azure services.

This article shows the simplest and fastest way to get a Camunda BPM server running on Microsoft Azure without command line usage. Keeping things as simple as possible, we perform all steps in the browser. No technical knowledge of Azure or Camunda and no local tool installation are required.

At CamundaCon Live today, I was thrilled to unveil the next step on the Camunda Cloud roadmap – the Camunda Cloud Early Access Program. Now your team can get started on Camunda Cloud, running your clusters with more resources, a higher replication factor and a higher partition count.

At MINEKO we automate the process for reviewing and validating private and commercial utility bills for tenants. We found that 81% of all utility bills issued in Germany are flawed. So we built a team of legal and automation experts to provide our customers with high quality legal checks on utility bills at a fraction of the costs of a lawyer. We recently started using Camunda Cloud as part of Camunda’s private beta program. Our intention was to evaluate it for the traditional use case of running business processes, not knowing that it would completely change our thinking of design patterns regarding orchestration of microservices. This post describes our technical architecture in more depth, alongside the reasons we built it...

In the highly heterogeneous and dynamic landscape of pharma research, where hundreds of researchers and scientists must communicate and undertake deeply complex workflow processes – Camunda has proved the ideal tonic. At CamundaCon Daniel Butnaru, Solution Architect at Roche Pharma, will share how his team utilizes Camunda’s Community Edition straight out of the box to streamline the interaction between researcher (human) tasks with backends and robotics platforms.

Camunda in its current version is perfectly suited to run BPM in cloud infrastructures. From Spring Boot integration to the External Task Pattern and other features you have a lot of freedom to design your BPM architecture the way you want. Is anything missing? Hardly. Except one thing: Identity management in the cloud often differs from classical approaches. Neither the integrated Identity Management nor the optional LDAP Identity Provider fit. That’s why we have been looking for a way to better integrate Camunda’s Identity Management into such environments.

In the last few years we’ve noticed many of our users are migrating from bare-metal infrastructures to cloud-based ones. While the cloud has overcome several limitations of the traditional infrastructure, other problems arise when deploying your microservices in environments that have the possibility to scale up and down dynamically based on workload. When deploying Camunda BPM, the first problem that you will encounter will be, most probably, session management.While this is easily solvable in traditional environments by using sticky sessions, the same solution does not apply when you deal with cloud environments like, Kubernetes. The reason is that sticky sessions do not behave well in dynamic environments since they expect the underlying infrastructure to be static. Recently we’ve been working...
