    Demo: Modeling 101

    Till Stadtler, Camunda

    This demo will provide developers and business analysts with a solid foundation for building process models using the BPMN standard. Covering common elements such as events, tasks, gateways and sequence flows, you will learn about the benefits of the standard and how to build your own models using the Camunda 8 Web Modeler.

    Demo: Camunda Platform 8 SaaS

    Joe Pappas, Camunda

    Join us for a whistlestop tour of Camunda Plaform 8 SaaS and learn how its components help you design, automate, improve and manage your processes without the need for technical setup or installation. This demo will help administrators, architects, business analysts, developers and project managers new to Camunda identify and articulate the benefits – resilience, latency and security – of the SaaS edition.

    Demo: Developers, IaC, and AI, oh my!

    Sean Deehan & Simon Zengerling, Camunda

    Find out about a variety of fun projects that are happening at Camunda! From deploying your C8 SaaS infrastructure in minutes to seconds and ChatGPT’s AI competing with one of our developers, this session promises to both enlighten and entertain.

    Demo: Error Handling with Operate

    Marco Lopes, Camunda

    Deviations from the default scenario are a common occurrence in process automation. One way to resolve these is using a BPMN error event, which allows a process model to react to errors within a task. Taking you from modelling over execution to analysis, this demo will help you understand how to identify which errors can be fixed by modelling a process in BPMN and which ones are better handled as incidents.

    Demo: Process observability and incident resolution with Operate

    Gustavo Mendoza, Camunda

    Have you ever faced issues with orchestration projects that span across people, systems and devices to provide visibility end to end? Operate, an integral part of Camunda Platform 8, solves this and other problems. Join this demo to learn how to check what process and decision definitions are deployed in your orchestration system, visualise the current status of instances and their history in an end-to-end view, and use process operations to modify process instances. You’ll also take your first steps with the Operate API.

    -

    Demo: Business Intelligence with Optimize

    Norman Lüring, Camunda

    New to Camunda? Make sure to join this intro to Optimize, an integrated component of Camunda Platform 8. Optimize provides actionable analytics to keep your processes healthy by allowing you to monitor operations, report to the business, investigate causes, and improve processes out of the box.

    Demo: What’s behind hot backups in Camunda Platform 8.2?

    Ole Schönburg, Camunda

    Camunda Platform 8.2 ships with hot backups, allowing operators to take backups of the entire Camunda Platform stack without service interruptions or downtime. But what exactly happens when Zeebe takes a backup and how does it ensure that the result is a consistent state of all partitions? Ole will demo the API and integration with AWS S3 to then explore exactly these topics. You will also hear about the theory of distributed snapshots, checkpoints and how safety is guaranteed when partitions communicate with each other over an unreliable network.

    -

    Putting People First: A Human Approach to Process Automation

    Christian Konrad, Camunda

    This demo will make the case for an iterative, more agile approach to process automation that can be achieved by starting with human tasks and orchestration. Join us as we will showcase Form Editor and Tasklist. We will also demo conditional rendering, text formatting, live form debugging and more. Finally, you will learn how to build your own task/process application frontend using the powerful REST API.
