Training Agenda

Camunda 7 & 8
& BPMN

Camunda is the leading open-source workflow and decision automation platform — BPMN 2.0 process definitions that can be executed, monitored, and audited as running instances. It bridges the gap between business process documentation and code: processes are modeled visually, deployed as executables, and integrated with Java services through a powerful task model. This training covers both Camunda 7 (embedded engine) and Camunda 8 (Zeebe-based, cloud-native) with practical BPMN process design.

What We Cover
Executable business processes from model to production
Day 1

BPMN Fundamentals & Camunda 7

  • BPMN 2.0 elements: events, tasks, gateways, sequence flows, pools and lanes
  • Task types: Service Task, User Task, Script Task, Send/Receive Task, Business Rule Task
  • Gateway types: Exclusive, Parallel, Inclusive, Event-based
  • Error events, boundary events, compensation
  • Camunda 7 architecture: embedded engine vs shared engine
  • Spring Boot integration: @EnableProcessApplication, process deployment
  • Service task implementation: Java Delegate, Expression Language, External Task pattern
  • User tasks: task forms, Tasklist, task assignment and claiming
  • DMN decision tables: decision modeling with hit policies
  • Process variables: typed variables, object serialization
  • REST API: starting processes, completing tasks, querying instances
  • Cockpit: monitoring running instances, incidents, and historic data
Day 2

Camunda 8 & Zeebe

  • Camunda 8 architecture: Zeebe brokers, gateways, Operate, Tasklist, Optimize
  • BPMN differences between Camunda 7 and 8: what changed and what didn't
  • Zeebe client: Java client for process deployment, variable passing, job completion
  • Job workers: polling model vs gRPC streaming — implementing reliable workers
  • Error handling: BPMN errors, technical failures, retry behavior
  • Message correlation: catching messages, message subscriptions
  • Spring Zeebe integration: @ZeebeWorker, process deployment on startup
  • Camunda Platform REST API v2
  • Connectors: out-of-the-box and custom connectors
  • Migration from Camunda 7 to 8: what requires rewriting, what can be automated
  • Testing: Zeebe process test, embedded engine for unit tests
