Migrating to Camunda Platform 8, Part 1: Process Models + Business Logic - “You can migrate any kind of implementation”

Camunda Community Podcast

Since we introduced Camunda Platform 8, migration has been a hot topic among Camundi and users. For us, this is an ongoing topic that continues to evolve as we receive feedback from our community and customers, and as new technologies emerge.

On this episode of the Camunda Community Podcast, Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan chats with Senior Consultant Manuel (aka Manu) Dittmar and Consultant Jonathan Lukas about the three main pillars of migrating to Camunda Platform 8 from Camunda 7: model migration, business logic migration, and data migration. This is a lot to cover, so we’re breaking it down into two episodes.
In Part 1, Niall has plenty of questions for Manu (aka Manuel) and Jonathan regarding the strategy and practical implementation of migrating models and business logic. We start off discussing a brief history of Camunda 8; our key consideration points including documentation and tooling for helping customers and users migrate; and how the architecture of Camunda 8 better aligns with modern software architecture and service orchestration, creating a much faster workflow and decision engine.
Listen to learn more about:
