Dank eines Angebots von Kühne und Nagel können wir deren Zoom Server für virtuelle Meetups nutzen. Die Kapazität wird bei 500 Teilnehmern liegen und den Link poste ich eine Stunde zuvor in die Kommentare (wird dann auch hier auf der Eventseite angezeigt) Der Zoomclient wird über den Browser geladen, kann aber auch lokal (kostenlos) installiert werden.

Workflow automation today is far more than the "BPM dinosaur" many people think of. In this meetup I will talk about typical use cases for workflow engines (e.g. microservices or function orchestration, human task management, straight through processing, ...) and discuss shortcomings of other approaches to automate workflows (like batches, wild-west integration, or hard-coded point-to-point approaches). I will not only wear a developer's hat but also look at operations, DevOps and the collaboration with business stakeholders. Afterwards, you'll better understand the role of workflow automation and if it applies to your project.
I will use concrete examples and do live coding using Java and Camunda Cloud, a fully hosted SaaS Workflow Platform, that is based on the open source project Zeebe.io. Zeebe provides a horizontally scalable, cloud native, BPMN-based workflow engine.
Referent: Bernd Rücker
I am a software developer at heart who has been innovating process automation deployed in highly scalable and agile environments of industry leaders such as T-Mobile, Lufthansa, ING and Atlassian. I contributed to various open-source workflow engines for more than 15 years and I'm the Co-Founder and Chief Technologist of Camunda – an open-source software company reinventing process automation. I am author of "Practical Process Automation" and co-author of "Real-Life BPMN". Additionally, I am regular speaker at conferences around the world and a frequent contributor to several technology publications. I focus on new process automation paradigms that fit into modern architectures around distributed systems, microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, and reactive systems.
