As per the announcement on Camunda portal, it is mentioned that :
Camunda 7 Community edition will be EOL in 2030
Camunda 7 will get minor releases until October 2025
Camunda full support will be until Apr 2027
Security Patches and release support until April 2030
So I wanted to understand what it means for the projects which are developed on Camunda Community edition 7?
Is there another new version of Camunda community edition to which the projects can be upgraded to?
What happens if there are other critical vulnerabilities found in the system after Apr 2027 (apart from Security)?
thanks

Edited to add: @Gaurav_Mahajan My apologies – I posted this without fully understanding the repos involved. Given that the open source license is a separate repo from our enterprise license, the information I stated here is incorrect, and has been from the start. I’ve struck through my errors below. Here’s what is correct:
Camunda 7 (Community Edition and Enterprise Edition) will get the last minor release until October 2025.
Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition (EE) full support will be until Apr 2027.
Security patches and release support will continue for Camunda 7 EE through our extended support package until April 2030.
hi Gaurav! Great questions. As Camunda 7 Community Edition is fully open source, the project will still exist and can be used. Security releases and critical vulnerabilities will be patched until April 2030. We’re still deciding whether those patches will be released as a bundle in a regular cadence.
re: any projects developed on Camunda 7, the ideal option is to move to Camunda 8 SaaS or Self-Managed. If you’re unable to do so, I’d like to understand more about your scenario and use case to help our product management teams make an informed decision about a path forward.
We’re running a survey right now for folks who are still using Camunda 7 Community Edition. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love for you to fill that out so we can take your feedback into account with the rest of what we’re collecting. Survey is now closed. Thank you for your participation!
