Listen Later

On this episode of the Camunda Community Podcast, we discuss the dynamic scaling of Zeebe clusters. Host and Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan is joined by Senior Software Engineer Backend, Deepthi Akkoorath to learn more about this new feature and how it came to be, including the technical challenges we overcame and decisions we made, as well as what’s next for scaling Zeebe. 

Zeebe, the cloud-native workflow and decision engine that powers Camunda 8, has many next-generation capabilities, including a language-agnostic approach so you can build clients in any programming language, enterprise-grade resilience, and horizontal scaling via a distributed architecture. We have further improved this last one by providing the ability to dynamically scale Zeebe brokers and are committed to further enhancing this feature in the future.
