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.

Camunda 8 repose sur Zeebe , un moteur de workflow distribué, cloud-native et orienté événements , où les Job Workers orchestrent l’exécution des tâches — y compris le cycle de vie des tâches humaines . Ce guide explique : ✔ Le fonctionnement des Human Tasks dans Camunda 8 ✔ Le rôle du Human Task Job Worker ✔ Toutes les propriétés importantes d’une Human Task ✔ L’assignation, la complétion et les variables ✔ Les différences avec Camunda 7 ✔ Les bonnes pratiques et un exemple réel ⭐ 1.
