Pros

  • +It is particularly useful in Java-based microservices architectures where you need to manage long-running processes, human tasks, and automated decisions with audit trails and monitoring capabilities
  • +Related to: java, bpmn-2-0

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Camunda if: You want it is particularly useful in microservices architectures where you need to coordinate distributed services, handle long-running transactions, and ensure compliance with business rules and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Flowable if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in java-based microservices architectures where you need to manage long-running processes, human tasks, and automated decisions with audit trails and monitoring capabilities over what Camunda offers.
