In Camunda 8 , the workflow engine never directly executes the business logic . All execution is done outside the engine , asynchronously and event driven . To do this, Camunda 8 offers two main mechanisms : 1️⃣ Camunda 8 Connectors (out-of-the-box integrations, low-code) 2️⃣ Camunda 8 Job Workers (custom workers, full code) Both are based on the Zeebe jobs mechanism , but their uses are very different. ⭐ 1. Overview – Camunda 8 Execution Model Camunda 8 is: ✔ Cloud-native ✔ Distributed ✔ 100% Asynchronous ✔ Event-driven 👉 The orchestration-only 👉 engine All logic is executed by external executors ➡️ Connectors and Workers are both: External Scalables Decoupled from the engine Resilient ⭐ 2. What is a Camunda 8 Connector? Connectors are ready-to-use integration components , provided by Camunda. They allow a BPMN process to be connected to external systems without writing code . 🔹 Key features ✔ Low-code / no-code ✔ Configuration via Web Mod...

In Camunda 8 , all work is executed outside the workflow engine . There are two main ways to integrate external systems and execute logic: Camunda 8 Connectors (pre-built, configuration-driven) Camunda 8 Job Workers (custom code-based workers) Both are built on top of Zeebe's job mechanism , but they serve very different purposes . This blog explains: What Connectors and Workers are How they work internally Key differences Real-world examples When to use Connectors vs Workers Best practices ⭐ 1. Big Picture: Execution Model in Camunda 8 Camunda 8 is: Cloud-native Event-driven Asynchronous only 👉 The engine never executes business logic itself. 👉 All work is done by external executors . Both Connectors and Workers are: External Asynchronous Decoupled from the engine Scalable ⭐ 2. What Are Camunda 8 Connectors? Connectors are pre-built integration components provided by Camunda. They allow you to connect BP...
