We’re using Camunda 8 SaaS and need to capture the following events without blocking workflow performance:
- Process start/end
- Task start/end
- Task reassignment
From my research, potential solutions include:
- Zeebe Exporters (but documentation states they’re unsupported in SaaS)
- Execution Listeners (limited to
serviceTask
in SaaS?) - Operate API (appears polling-based, not real-time)
- Webhooks/Connectors (seems viable but unsure of coverage for all event types)
Key Questions:
- Are there SaaS-supported alternatives to Zeebe Exporters for streaming events?
- What’s the recommended approach for non-blocking event capture in SaaS?
- Would outbound connectors cover all needed events (e.g., task reassignment)?
- Are there hidden limitations with execution listeners in SaaS?
- Does Camunda plan to offer Zeebe Exporters as a managed service in SaaS?
We’d appreciate insights on:
- Pros/cons of each option for our use case.
- Real-world examples of similar implementations.
Thanks in advance!
