Flowable vs Camunda 7: which fits your Java BPMN estate now
If your Java BPMN estate runs Camunda 7 in production, or you are starting a new process automation project in Java, the decision now turns on what Camunda 7 Community Edition's end of life means for you. Camunda's final feature release, 7.24, was scheduled for October 14, 2025, and no further releases or security patches are made for Community Edition after that. Flowable is a credible destination when you want a maintained Apache-2.0 engine that keeps the BPMN, CMMN and DMN standards in one codebase. The open-source engines run embedded in a Java application or as a service, expose Java and REST APIs, and Flowable 8.0.0, released on February 27, 2026, moved to Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4. Flowable 8.0.0 dropped Spring Boot 3 support, so teams on Spring Boot 3 will need a separate upgrade step before or alongside any engine change. Flowable also documents an in-place migration path from Camunda 7 that covers active process instances and history, which matters if you cannot pause running processes.
Camunda 7 remains the more natural path when you already hold an Enterprise Edition contract. Camunda extended the Enterprise end of life to April 9, 2030, with 7.24 as a long-term support release receiving updates in April and October, and paid extended support available through April 2032. That gives a regulated organization a longer runway than Community Edition offers. Staying is also reasonable when your teams have built deep expertise in Cockpit, Tasklist and Admin, and when changing tooling would cost more than the support contract. Confirm the exact coverage, patch cadence and support terms in your Enterprise agreement, because those commitments are contractual and may differ from the public announcement.
The decision turns on four things. First, the licensing of the target: Flowable's engines are Apache-2.0, while Camunda 8 components such as Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist fall under the Camunda License 1.0, which limits production use to a commercial license from Camunda. Second, the Spring Boot version your applications require. Third, the database and identity requirements: Flowable documents H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server, and lets you replace identity management through its identity service interface, so check that your directory and database standards are covered. Fourth, the migration effort, which you should size by inventorying BPMN, DMN and form assets, active instances, custom listeners and integrations before you commit to a date.
Which platform fits which scenario
This table matches common Flowable and Camunda 7 scenarios to the platform that usually fits better, with the reason and the facts to confirm. Read each row against your own estimate of what your team runs, licenses and must support after Camunda 7 Community Edition reached end of life.
| Scenario | Better fit | Reason and what to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| New embedded Java BPMN service on Spring Boot | Flowable | Flowable engines are Apache-2.0 and ship Spring Boot starters for Spring Boot 4.x in the 8.0.0 line. Confirm your Spring Boot baseline, since 8.0.0 drops Spring Boot 3 support. |
| Existing Camunda 7 estate on Spring Boot 3 | Depends on timing | Flowable 8.0.0 drops Spring Boot 3, so a Spring Boot 3 application needs either a Boot upgrade or a Flowable 7.x line. Confirm which Spring Boot version and Flowable line you can run. |
| Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition contract through 2030 to 2032 | Camunda 7 (contracted) | Camunda 7 Enterprise support runs to April 9, 2030, with paid extended support to April 2032, per Camunda's announcement. Keep the contract while migration is planned, and confirm renewal terms with Camunda. |
| Team that needs a production license for Camunda 8 | Camunda 8, under a commercial license | The Camunda License 1.0 limits Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist use to non-production environments unless you hold a commercial production license. Confirm pricing and terms with Camunda before choosing this path. |
| Need for CMMN case management | Flowable | Flowable's engines cover BPMN, CMMN and DMN. Camunda 7 also documents CMMN, but confirm the CMMN features your cases need on the version you plan to run. |
| In-place migration of running process instances and history | Flowable (to confirm) | Flowable's 2022 engineering post says Camunda 7 data can be migrated in place, including active instances and history. Have the migration assessed on a copy of your data before committing. |
| Team wants a community fork that keeps the Camunda 7 API | Neither (see the Operaton and CIB seven comparisons) | Flowable changes the API and schema, so a fork that stays compatible may fit better. Confirm the compatibility needs of your integrations first. |
How each engine is built and deployed
Flowable and Camunda 7 are both Java BPMN engines that persist to a relational database, but they differ in how the engine is packaged and how nodes share work. The cards below cover the deployment shapes each offers, how the database and nodes coordinate, and the operating tasks that fall to your team.
Embedded JAR and servlet deployment
Flowable's engines can be embedded as a JAR in Java SE applications, in servlet containers such as Tomcat or Jetty, or in Java EE servers. Your application owns the process engine lifecycle, so deployment, restarts and dependency versions follow your application's release cycle. Camunda 7 also supports embedded use, but its engine is commonly run as a shared or standalone service with its own web applications. Check which model your team already operates before choosing, since it determines who patches and restarts the engine.
Spring Boot starters and actuator
Flowable publishes Spring Boot starters for all engines, for REST, and for the individual process, CMMN and DMN engines, with Spring Boot 4.x support in the 8.0.0 line. An actuator endpoint at /actuator/flowable exposes running process information for monitoring. Flowable 8.0.0 drops Spring Boot 3 support, so teams on Spring Boot 3 must plan an upgrade before adopting it. Confirm the starter and Spring Boot versions your application runs against before committing to a Flowable release line.
Camunda 7 MyBatis engine and shared mode
Camunda 7 is a Java framework whose process engine persists to a relational database through MyBatis. It can run embedded in a Java application, as a shared engine, or standalone, and it ships REST APIs with the Tasklist, Cockpit and Admin web applications. A shared engine concentrates database and upgrade ownership in a platform team, while an embedded engine moves that work into each application. Confirm which of these modes your current Camunda 7 estate uses, because it changes the migration scope.
Async executor locking across nodes
Flowable's async executor runs timers and asynchronous jobs from a thread pool. Nodes coordinate through lock owners and lock expiration times stored in the database, so when a node fails its expired locks are recovered and other nodes pick up the jobs. Operationally, this means the shared database is the coordination point, and you should test lock expiry, clock behavior and node failover in your own environment rather than rely on defaults. Camunda 7 uses its own job executor, so compare failover behavior directly in a proof of concept.
Who runs the database
Both engines rely on a relational database that your team must provision, back up, tune and restore. Flowable's configuration docs list H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server as supported types, and note that MySQL versions below 5.6.4 lack millisecond precision. Confirm the database engines and versions each product supports for your target release, and agree on which team owns schema changes, backups and failover. Database ownership is usually the largest recurring operational task, so ask vendors and implementers to name it explicitly in the scope.
Operator tooling and admin consoles
Camunda 7 ships Tasklist, Cockpit and Admin web applications that your operators and business users may already use for task handling and process inspection. Flowable's open-source engines do not include those consoles in the same form, and its 7.0.0 release removed the UI applications, so teams should confirm which monitoring, task and admin screens they need and whether they will build or buy them. Those screens often become a hidden part of implementation effort, so list them in the written scope.
Capability, licensing and maintenance compared
This table compares the two engines on standards coverage, APIs, Spring Boot support, databases, identity extension, maintenance status and license. Read each row as a question to answer for your own stack, and treat the Camunda 7 column as a snapshot of a platform that no longer receives Community Edition releases.
| Capability | Flowable (open source engines) | Camunda 7 |
|---|---|---|
| BPMN, CMMN and DMN | BPMN, CMMN and DMN engines, with a separate event registry engine in the same family | BPMN for workflow, CMMN for case management and DMN for decisions, per the Camunda 7 documentation |
| REST APIs | Java and REST APIs; REST available as a separate Flowable REST application | REST APIs shipped with the engine, plus Tasklist, Cockpit and Admin web applications |
| Spring Boot versions | Flowable 8.0.0 (released February 27, 2026) requires Spring Boot 4 and drops Spring Boot 3 support | 7.24 is the last feature release; confirm which Spring Boot line your 7.x build targets before upgrading |
| Supported databases | H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server, per the Flowable configuration docs | Persists to a relational database through MyBatis; confirm the supported database list for your 7.24 build with Camunda |
| Identity extension points | Identity service can be replaced by overriding IdmIdentityServiceImpl or implementing IdmIdentityService, with an LDAP reference implementation | Confirm the identity provider options and customization points against the Camunda 7 documentation for your version |
| Maintenance status | Actively released: 8.0.0 in February 2026 after 7.2.0 in August 2025 | Camunda 7 Community Edition receives no further releases or security patches after 7.24; Enterprise Edition end of life extended to April 9, 2030 |
| License | Apache-2.0 for the open source engines; a separate commercial platform is sold on top | Camunda 7 repository is Apache-2.0 but archived, with 7.24.0 as its last tag |
What each license and edition covers
The Flowable open-source engines for BPMN, CMMN and DMN are licensed under Apache-2.0, so the engine code itself carries no license fee. Flowable sells a separate commercial platform built on the same engines. Its products, including Flowable Work, Engage, Orchestrate and Design, add low-code modeling, visual debugging, security controls, monitoring and governance. Open-source users get a community forum, while professional services and partner support are bought separately under a written scope.
- Engine code: The Apache-2.0 engines can be embedded in your Java or Spring Boot applications at no license charge.
- Commercial platform: Low-code design, visual debugging, security controls and governance are sold as separate products built on the same engines.
- Community forum: Open-source users get community help, which is not a service-level commitment.
- Professional services: Implementation, customization and support are quoted separately from the engine license.
- Engine and platform choice: Confirm with Flowable which features you need before deciding whether the commercial platform is required.
Before budgeting, confirm with Flowable which capabilities are included in the open-source engines and which belong to the commercial products, and ask for the support terms in writing.
Camunda 7 Community Edition ended with the 7.24 release. Camunda scheduled its final feature release for October 14, 2025, and after that no further releases or security patches are made for the Community Edition. The camunda-bpm-platform repository is archived, with 7.24.0 as its last tag. Enterprise Edition customers have a longer runway: end of life was extended to April 9, 2030, with 7.24 as a long-term support release, and paid extended support is available through April 2032.
- Community Edition: No further releases or security patches after 7.24, so you carry patching and vulnerability response yourself or through a third party.
- Enterprise Edition: Paid subscription that covers 7.24 long-term support until April 9, 2030.
- Extended support: Paid support from April 2030 through April 2032, priced by Camunda.
- Long-term support updates: 7.24 receives updates twice a year, in April and October, for Enterprise customers.
- Recurring cost: Enterprise support is an annual subscription, while Community users pay internally for their own maintenance.
Check the current Enterprise terms, the subscription scope and the extended support price with Camunda before planning, since the dates above are the published end-of-life schedule.
Camunda 8's Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist source files are under the Camunda License 1.0. Only the Java client, the Spring Boot starter, the exporter API and some protocol modules are Apache-2.0. The Camunda License 1.0 limits use to non-production environments such as development, testing and evaluation. Production use requires a commercial license from Camunda, so the license cost sits in the production path rather than in the code you download.
- Non-production use: Development, testing and evaluation are covered by the license text.
- Production use: A commercial license from Camunda is required before the platform runs in production.
- Apache-2.0 components: The client libraries and exporter API can be used under Apache-2.0 terms.
- Migration tooling: Camunda's Diagram Converter and migration guides are documentation and tooling for moving from Camunda 7, not a license grant for production.
- Hosting model: Confirm whether the commercial license covers self-hosted, managed or both deployments in your environment.
Before committing, ask Camunda for the production license terms, the support tier and whether your deployment model is covered, and have your legal team review the license text.
What drives running cost on each path
Moving off Camunda 7 changes who pays for what, and the costs fall into one-time work and recurring spend. The cards below cover the components that decide the total on the Flowable path and the Camunda 8 path, and what to ask for before you commit.
Infrastructure and hosting footprint
Flowable's engines run embedded in your Java application or as the Flowable REST application, so hosting follows the services you already run. Camunda 8 is a different footprint, built around Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist as separate components. Ask each vendor or partner to list every component, its replica count and its storage needs for your peak load, and price those against your current Camunda 7 nodes.
Database operations and sizing
Both paths keep process state in a relational database, but the engines differ in how they are operated. Flowable supports H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server, so you may be able to keep your current database platform and its backup routines. Confirm the history retention you need, the migration window for active instances and who owns schema upgrades on each path.
In-house Java and Spring skills
Flowable's engines are Java libraries, so your team needs Java and Spring skills to embed and tune them, plus skills for the REST API if you use it. Camunda 8 moves much of the runtime into a separate platform, which shifts effort toward cluster operations and client code. Estimate the training and hiring cost for each path against the people you have, and record where you would need outside help.
Spring Boot upgrade work
Flowable 8.0.0 is based on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 and drops Spring Boot 3 support, so teams on Spring Boot 3 will need a planned upgrade before adopting it. Flowable 8.0.0 also moves the default JSON library to Jackson 3 and removes JUnit 3 and 4 support, which can touch custom tests and serialization code. Count the regression testing and any dependent application upgrades as one-time cost.
Support contracts and extended support
Flowable's open-source users get a community forum, and professional services and partners are offered separately. Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition support has an end-of-life date of April 9, 2030, with paid extended support available through April 2032. Ask for the scope, response terms and renewal price of any support contract, and treat it as a recurring cost that continues for as long as you run the platform.
Camunda 8 production licensing
The Camunda License 1.0 covers Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist and limits use to non-production environments, so production use requires a commercial license from Camunda. This is a recurring fee that sits on top of hosting and staff, and it applies whether or not your workload is large. Ask Camunda for the license terms that apply to each environment, the metric used to price it and what happens to production rights if you stop paying.
Moving from Camunda 7 to Flowable or Camunda 8
This sequence turns an unsupported Camunda 7 estate into a dated, tested cutover plan, with a clear record of what moves unchanged, what gets rebuilt and what each destination will require from your team. It is written so the decision between Flowable and Camunda 8 can be made on evidence from your own models and instances.
Inventory models, forms and active instances
Your architecture or process team lists every BPMN, DMN and form file in use, along with the Camunda 7 version each one runs on, the custom Java delegates and listeners they call, and the count of running and suspended process instances. Include the external systems, identity sources and timers each process depends on. Done means you have a single inventory that a second engineer can reproduce from your repositories and database, with each item marked as active, legacy or retired. Camunda 7 Community Edition receives no further releases or security patches, so this inventory also documents the exposure you are carrying today.
Run a migration readiness assessment
Use Flowable LEAP, which Flowable describes as a free tool that reports ahead of time what a migration from Camunda 7 involves, against a copy of your production database and your model inventory. For the Camunda 8 path, run the Camunda Diagram Converter, which analyzes Camunda 7 BPMN, DMN and form files and lists the migration tasks it finds. Compare the two reports line by line, flagging constructs that need manual rework. Done means you hold written findings for each path, reviewed by the process owners who will sign off on the result.
Test in-place migration on a restored copy
Restore a recent copy of the Camunda 7 database into a non-production environment and run the Flowable in-place migration of process data and history, as described in Flowable's engineering documentation. Include active process instances with timers and asynchronous jobs in the test set. Verify that instance counts, variable values, history records and open tasks match the source after migration. Record every discrepancy and the fix applied. Done means a repeatable runbook exists with a pass result on the full instance set, not a sample.
Adapt Spring Boot, identity and integrations
Map your application's Spring Boot version to the Flowable release line you select. Flowable 8.0.0 is based on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 and drops Spring Boot 3 support, so a team still on Spring Boot 3 needs an upgrade decision before or alongside the engine change. Replace or re-point Camunda-specific identity and user task assignment code, since Flowable documents identity management as replaceable through its IdmIdentityService interface, with an LDAP reference implementation. Confirm the Camunda 7 delegate and listener code that needs rewriting. Done means the application starts, authenticates users against your directory and completes an end-to-end process in a test environment.
Decide between Flowable and Camunda 8 for production
Make the destination decision with the readiness findings in hand. Camunda 8 source files for Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist fall under the Camunda License 1.0, which limits use to non-production environments such as development, testing and evaluation and requires a commercial license from Camunda for production. Ask Camunda for the production license terms, the support tier and the scope of any migration services in writing before you commit. Flowable's open-source engines are Apache-2.0 licensed, so production use carries no license fee for the engine itself, though support is sold separately. Done means a signed-off decision record that states the license, support and rebuild effort for the chosen path.
Cut over with a rollback path
Schedule a production window, freeze new deployments of Camunda 7 models, run the final migration against a fresh backup, and verify instance counts and open tasks against the pre-cutover baseline. Keep the Camunda 7 database read-only and retained so that a rollback is possible while you confirm behavior in production. Monitor the async executor and timers for stuck or expired jobs after go-live. Done means the verification checklist is signed by the process owners, the application runs on the new engine, and the retained Camunda 7 data has an agreed retention date.
Where Camunda 7 to Flowable projects usually run long
Most of the effort in a Camunda 7 to Flowable move sits in the code around the process engine, not in the BPMN diagrams. Custom Java delegates, execution listeners and task listeners are where Camunda-specific behavior tends to live, and each one needs to be inventoried, reviewed against the Flowable APIs and retested. Teams that want to run Flowable 8.0.0 also face a platform step: the release is based on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 and drops Spring Boot 3 support, according to the release notes. If your application is on Spring Boot 3 today, the framework upgrade, Jackson 3 default JSON handling and any JUnit 3 or 4 tests become part of the project scope. Ask your engineers to list every framework dependency before the schedule is set.
Identity and history are the next two areas where estimates often slip. Flowable's documentation says identity management can be replaced by overriding IdmIdentityServiceImpl or implementing the IdmIdentityService interface, with an LDAP reference implementation available. Your team needs to decide whether the existing Camunda 7 user and group lookups map cleanly to that model, and whether an operations owner accepts the security review that comes with the change. History volume also drives database work. Large history tables, long-running instances and retained audit data affect migration runtime and storage sizing, so confirm with a data sample how much history must move and how much can be archived. Flowable's own engineering post describes in-place migration of data and history, but the cost of your data set still has to be measured on your own database.
Asynchronous jobs are the hardest part to test well. Flowable's async executor runs timers and asynchronous jobs from a thread pool and coordinates nodes through lock owners and lock expiration times stored in the database, so expired locks are recovered and jobs are picked up by other nodes. Test that behavior under the cluster layout you will run in production, including node restarts and lock expiry, not only on a single developer machine. Your team must also supply the people who make these decisions: process owners who can confirm the business rules in each diagram, test data that reflects real case volumes, and an operations owner who will run the platform after go-live. Without those three roles named in advance, the project tends to stall in acceptance testing.
Questions buyers ask before choosing Flowable or Camunda 7
What does migrating off Camunda 7 cost, and what drives that cost?
The cost depends on how much custom code, process models and integration surface you have, and on which exit path you take. Flowable documents an in-place migration of Camunda 7 and Activiti data, including active process instances and history, and offers the free Flowable LEAP tool to report ahead of time what a migration involves. Moving to Camunda 8 is a different project: Camunda's Diagram Converter analyzes Camunda 7 BPMN, DMN and form files and lists migration tasks, but the rewrite of Java delegates, listeners and APIs is still yours to fund. Costs recur for production licensing on Camunda 8 and for any paid support you add. Ask each vendor or partner for a written scope that lists model count, custom code, integrations and history volume.
How long does a Camunda 7 migration take?
Duration is driven by scope, not by the engine alone. The main variables are the number of process definitions, how much Java code depends on the Camunda API, how many external systems the processes call, whether active instances must finish on the old engine, and how much history you must keep queryable. A project that only keeps a small set of processes running on Flowable will look very different from one that re-platforms hundreds of models onto Camunda 8. No supplied fact gives a timeline, so request a written plan with phases, test exit criteria and a cutover approach from any provider before you commit.
Can our internal team migrate off Camunda 7 without outside help?
A capable Java team can migrate Camunda 7 applications on its own, provided it has time, test coverage and someone who owns the cutover. The work is most risky where processes depend on custom listeners, the Camunda 7 REST API, Cockpit and Tasklist usage, or database-level history queries. Teams often underestimate testing of in-flight instances. If your staff lacks recent BPMN, CMMN or DMN engine experience, or if the migration must finish inside a fixed window, a fixed-scope engagement with written deliverables can cover planning, implementation and documentation. Confirm what your internal team will own after handover, including upgrades.
Does Camunda 7 still work after end of life, and what is the security exposure?
Camunda 7 may keep running, but Camunda states that after its final feature release, 7.24, scheduled for October 14, 2025, no further releases or security patches are made for Camunda 7 Community Edition. The camunda-bpm-platform repository is archived with 7.24.0 as its last tag. That means any vulnerability found in the engine, its web applications or its dependencies will not be fixed upstream for the Community Edition. Enterprise Edition customers have a different window, with end of life extended to April 9, 2030 and paid extended support available through April 2032. Ask your security team to document compensating controls and to confirm whether your edition is covered.
Does Flowable 8 require Spring Boot 4?
Yes, if you use the Spring Boot starters. Flowable 8.0.0, released on February 27, 2026, is based on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4, and its release notes state there is no backward compatibility for Spring Boot 3. The release also makes Jackson 3 the default JSON library, with a Jackson 2 compatibility layer, and removes JUnit 3 and 4 support. Engineers should check their dependency tree, test suites and any custom serialization before upgrading. Teams still on Spring Boot 3 should plan a Spring upgrade alongside the engine change or evaluate an earlier Flowable line, and should confirm the compatibility of every other library in the application.
When does Camunda 8 need a commercial license?
The Camunda License 1.0 covers the source of Zeebe, Operate and Tasklist, and it limits use to non-production environments such as development, testing and evaluation. Production use requires a commercial license from Camunda. The Java client, Spring Boot starter, exporter API and protocol modules are under Apache-2.0, so they are not the restricted part. Before budgeting, confirm with Camunda which components you will run, whether your deployment is self-managed or hosted, and how the license applies to your environments, including staging and disaster recovery. Get the terms in writing from Camunda rather than relying on a summary.
What support options exist for Flowable open source compared with Camunda 7 Enterprise?
Flowable's open-source engines are Apache-2.0 licensed, and open-source users get a community forum, while professional services and partners are offered separately. Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition customers have vendor support through the extended end of life, with 7.24 as a long-term support release receiving updates twice a year in April and October. Support for Flowable is a separate contract with Flowable or a partner, so you pay for it only if you need it. Ask each vendor for response targets, named coverage of Spring Boot and database versions, and whether security fixes are included. Do not assume an SLA exists until it appears in a signed agreement.
What the decision turns on in your environment
The choice between Flowable and Camunda 7 turns less on feature lists than on a handful of facts about your own estate, and the first is the Spring Boot version in use. Flowable 8.0.0, released on February 27, 2026, is built on Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4 and drops Spring Boot 3 support, so a team on Spring Boot 3 faces an upgrade decision before it faces an engine decision. Check which Spring Boot line each embedding application runs, whether those applications can move to Spring Boot 4, and how many services share the engine. Camunda 7's final feature release was 7.24, and its Community Edition receives no further releases or security patches, so an unpatched Spring Boot 3 stack carries a risk that exists regardless of which engine you pick.
Next, map the database platform and the web applications your users depend on. Flowable lists H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server as supported database types, and its async executor coordinates nodes through lock records in that database, so confirm that your DBA team has approved the same platform and that clustered nodes can reach it. Then inventory what people actually use. Camunda 7 ships Tasklist, Cockpit and Admin, and Flowable's open-source engines do not include equivalent operator consoles, so if your operations or business staff rely on those screens, you need to decide whether to build replacements, adopt the Flowable commercial products, or retrain users. Also ask whether your identity source is LDAP, a directory with custom schema, or a federated provider, because Flowable documents an identity service interface you would implement against your own directory.
Finally, settle the CMMN requirement and the evidence obligations before you request a quote. If case management is in scope, confirm that your use cases need CMMN rather than BPMN with DMN, since Flowable's open-source engines cover CMMN along with BPMN and DMN. Then agree who carries support obligations: whether you need a vendor contract, an internal team, or a partner, and what response commitments your own policies require. Regulated teams should also ask what audit evidence each path produces, including change records for the migration, test results and configuration baselines, and how those records will be retained. DeployOpen can prepare that evidence and the controls around it, but independent auditors and certification bodies decide whether it is sufficient.
How DeployOpen helps choose, implement or migrate
DeployOpen plans, implements, customizes, integrates, hardens, backs up, upgrades, documents and supports self-hosted open-source platforms inside your own infrastructure, including your cloud accounts, data centers or air-gapped networks. For Flowable vs Camunda 7, we start by agreeing in writing which engine path fits your process, identity and hosting constraints.

- Agree in writing which Camunda 7 versions, Spring Boot versions and databases are in scope.
- Engagements are fixed-scope, with deliverables and timelines agreed before work starts.
How we build
- Prototype the chosen engine against representative processes, including timers and async jobs.
- Wire identity, the database and the async executor into your own infrastructure and standards.
- Run security testing on the application and APIs before any production cutover is scheduled.
How we hand over
- Document the architecture, configuration, migration steps and rollback plan for your team.
- Deliver test evidence and compliance-ready control documentation for independent auditors to review.
- Walk your operators through monitoring, backups and upgrade procedures before handover closes.
How we support
- Ongoing support, upgrades and continuous testing are available as a retainer after handover.
- Retainers can cover engine version upgrades as your chosen Flowable or Camunda line changes.
- Confirm with your vendor which support tier and end-of-life dates apply to your own deployment.
