Overcoming Camunda 7 Migration Challenges
Challenge
The client relied on a legacy Camunda 7 environment to run mission-critical business processes, including 21 complex workflows with approximately 20 activities each. These processes incorporated custom scripts, DMN tables, Java delegates, Groovy, and JavaScript scripts, along with BPMN elements. The client needed to transition these processes to the modern Camunda 8 platform to embrace cloud-native scalability and composability.
- Ensuring equivalence between Camunda 7 and Camunda 8 outputs.
- Migrating complex processes in just 60 days to avoid business disruption.
- Reducing the high cost and effort of manual migration (estimated at seven months).
