Migrate from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8
Realize value today. Be ready for tomorrow.
Camunda 8 meets today’s automation demands and positions you for what’s next – with agentic orchestration, AI-native capabilities, real-time collaboration decisioning, and cloud-native scale and resilience.
Why migrate?
Simplify development, streamline integration, and support flexible, scalable operations with Camunda 8’s modern infrastructure and operations.
Competitive Advantage
Innovate faster with agentic orchestration, native AI capabilities, and a growing ecosystem of reusable Connectors and blueprints — enabling faster development cycles and increased adaptability.
Boost Agility
Flexible deployments, reduced dependencies, composable architectures, a cloud-native platform, and seamless integration enabled by multi-layer coding experience, comprehensive APIs and multilingual SDKs.
Gain Flexibility
Develop processes in the cloud or locally. Choose how you deploy: SaaS for reduced infrastructure and maintenance overhead or self-managed for increased flexibility and control. Kubernetes for full resiliency and performance, or single Java for simplicity.
Increase Resiliency & Scalability
Optimized for performance, horizontally scalable with event-streaming technology and designed for resiliency and high availability.
Future-proof
Modernize your tech stack with state of the art components and build a composable infrastructure built for change — leveraging BPMN, flexible integrations, agentic orchestration, and infrastructure that evolves with your business.
