Camunda 8 is a process orchestration framework whose orchestration cluster includes the Zeebe cloud-native BPMN/DMN engine, plus Tasklist, Operate, Identity, and Optimize components. It lets teams model business processes visually in BPMN 2.0 and orchestrate people, systems, AI agents, and devices at high throughput with horizontal scaling and fault tolerance.
Use cases
- orchestrate business processes across microservices with BPMN workflows
- automate human-in-the-loop approval and task workflows
- model and execute DMN decision tables
- coordinate AI agents and systems in governed end-to-end processes
- monitor and troubleshoot running process instances
- build high-throughput, horizontally scalable workflow engines without a relational database
When to choose
- you need standards-based BPMN/DMN process automation at enterprise scale
- you want to orchestrate long-running processes spanning people, APIs, and message queues like Kafka
- you need process visibility, monitoring, and human task management in one platform
- you deploy on Docker/Kubernetes and need a cloud-native, fault-tolerant engine
When to avoid
- you only need a simple job scheduler or cron replacement
- you want a lightweight embedded workflow library with minimal infrastructure
- you require an OSI open-source license for commercial production use - production self-managed usage requires an enterprise license
- your team has no capacity to learn BPMN modeling concepts
