Camunda 8 Zeebe Long Running Workflows

Hi
We are evaluating Camunda 8 Self Managed for one of our use cases i had the following question. We might create more than 10K Process instances per minute. It has mix if short running workflows and long running workflows (which might get completed within 30 days).

  1. If there are lot of long running workflows will consume lot of memory on the RocksDB
  2. We are using Message for intermediate catch events. Are all the messages buffered and having many messages in your workflow affect the throughput and memory

Hi @mknarayan1711,

It depends on the size of the processes, how much is “lot of memory”.

Again it depends on how long your messages have to be buffered.

You can read more details about sizing and the influencing factors here: Sizing your environment | Camunda 8 Docs

Hope this helps, Ingo
