✦ Camunda Practice

Process automation built for
the enterprise

From BPMN process design and Zeebe orchestration through human task management, decision automation, and process intelligence — our certified Camunda practice team helps enterprises automate, govern, and continuously optimise their most critical business processes.

Camunda 8 Platform

Camunda 8 Platform

The leading open-core process orchestration platform — unifying BPMN workflow automation, DMN decision management, RPA orchestration, and AI integration in a single enterprise-grade platform.

Camunda 8 is the latest generation of the world's most adopted process automation platform — re-architected around the cloud-native Zeebe workflow engine for horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, and microservices-native process orchestration. Available as SaaS (Camunda SaaS), self-managed on Kubernetes, or hybrid, it supports the full range of automation patterns from sequential workflows through complex compensation flows and long-running human-in-the-loop processes. Our practice covers the complete Camunda 8 lifecycle: from initial platform selection and architecture through implementation, migration from Camunda 7, and team enablement for sustained internal capability.

Zeebe Workflow Engine

Zeebe Workflow Engine

The cloud-native, horizontally scalable workflow engine powering Camunda 8 — designed for high-throughput process execution, fault-tolerant orchestration, and microservices-native deployment at any scale.

Zeebe is the distributed, event-driven workflow engine at the heart of Camunda 8. Unlike traditional BPM engines, Zeebe is designed from the ground up for cloud-native microservices environments — using a partitioned, event-sourced architecture that enables linear horizontal scaling, zero single points of failure, and exactly-once process execution semantics. It executes BPMN 2.0 processes through a job worker pull model, where microservices, serverless functions, or robotic processes subscribe to task queues and complete work asynchronously. Our practice covers Zeebe cluster design, job worker development, client SDK integration, and performance engineering for high-throughput production workloads.

⚙️

Zeebe Cluster Design & Sizing

Designing Zeebe cluster topology — partition count, replication factor, broker sizing, and gateway configuration — based on projected process instance throughput, SLA requirements, and failure recovery objectives.

🔌

Job Worker Development

Building high-quality job workers in Java, Python, Go, or Node.js using the Camunda 8 client SDK — implementing activation, completion, error handling, retries, and backpressure patterns for reliable microservice task execution.

🔗

Microservices Orchestration Patterns

Designing process-driven microservice architectures — implementing saga patterns, compensation workflows, long-running transactions, and inter-service coordination through Zeebe-managed BPMN processes rather than ad-hoc event chains.

Performance Engineering & Tuning

Load testing Zeebe deployments, profiling process execution bottlenecks, tuning partition configuration and worker concurrency, and optimising process model design to achieve target throughput under production load conditions.

🛡️

High Availability & Disaster Recovery

Configuring Zeebe for multi-zone and multi-region resilience — designing leader election behaviour, snapshot and backup strategies, cross-cluster failover procedures, and RTO/RPO-aligned recovery runbooks.

📡

Camunda Modeler

Camunda Modeler

The professional BPMN 2.0 and DMN modelling tool for Camunda 8 — enabling business analysts and developers to design, validate, and deploy executable process models from a shared visual canvas.

Camunda Modeler (Desktop and Web) is the primary tooling for creating and maintaining BPMN 2.0 process models, DMN 1.3 decision tables, and CMMN case models in the Camunda ecosystem. It bridges the gap between business process design and technical implementation — providing a shared modelling environment where business analysts can own process logic while developers configure technical attributes. Web Modeler, included in Camunda 8 SaaS, adds collaborative modelling, version control, milestone management, and direct deployment to Camunda 8 clusters. Our practice helps teams establish modelling standards, review processes for executability, and build governance frameworks for process model lifecycle management.

Operate & Tasklist

Camunda Operate & Tasklist

Runtime process monitoring and human workflow management — giving operations teams full visibility into running processes and providing end users with structured, form-driven task interfaces.

Camunda Operate is the operational monitoring and incident management UI for Camunda 8 — providing real-time visibility into process instance state, variable values, active incidents, and historical execution data. It enables operations teams to detect stuck tokens, resolve incidents, and understand process behaviour without direct database access. Camunda Tasklist is the human task management interface — presenting user tasks to process participants through configurable forms, candidate group assignment, and task lifecycle management. Together they form the operational backbone of a Camunda 8 deployment, bridging automated process execution with human decision-making. Our practice helps teams configure, customise, and integrate both components into existing operational and user-facing workflows.

Camunda Optimize

Camunda Optimize

Process intelligence and continuous improvement — turning raw process execution data into actionable reports, KPI dashboards, and bottleneck analyses that drive measurable operational improvement.

Camunda Optimize is the business intelligence and process analytics component of the Camunda 8 platform — enabling process owners, operations managers, and executives to understand how processes are performing in production. It ingests historical process data from Elasticsearch and surfaces it through configurable reports, dashboards, and alerts: cycle time distributions, throughput trends, bottleneck heatmaps, and SLA compliance rates. Unlike generic BI tools, Optimize understands the BPMN structure of processes — enabling flow node-level analysis, variant comparison, and goal-tracking natively. Our practice helps teams unlock the full value of Optimize by designing meaningful KPI frameworks, building executive dashboards, and establishing continuous improvement feedback loops driven by process data.
