Title:
Orchestrating a highly-scalable fulfillment process

Abstract:
About 3 years ago Zalando migrated their sales order process from a homegrown framework to camunda bpm. A year ago a project was started to also migrate the fulfillment and shipment processes to a new service. This service has to handle shipment and item-based processes, orchestrating multiple microservice based logistics interfaces, using Zalando’s Nakadi event bus.

This talk will present the challenges implementing this service and the database and application-level tuning that had to be done. We will also look into

Title:
Zeebe.io - Microservice Orchestration at any Scale

Abstract:

Implementing long-running, asynchronous and complex orchestrations of distributed microservices is challenging. How do we guarantee that the overall orchestration always completes, even if the invocation of a service fails? How can we ensure visibility into orchestrations and provide status and error monitoring? In this talk, we present Zeebe.io (https://zeebe.io/), a new Open Source engine for microservice orchestration. With Zeebe, you can define orchestration flows using visual workflows. For each step in a flow, a microservice can be connected using a publish/subscribe protocol. Once an orchestration flow starts, Zeebe ensures that it is eventually carried out, retrying steps upon failure. Along the way, Zeebe produces a complete event log, facilitating monitoring and visibility into the progress and status of orchestrations. Internally, Zeebe works as a distributed system, it is super fast, horizontally scalable and fault tolerant.
