Camunda deployment on Netty

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi,

I’m evaluating Camunda BPM as an open-source replacement for our current workflow engine. Since we use Netty for almost all our APIs, I was exploring the possibility of deploying Camunda on Netty.

I know that Resteasy, which is used in Camunda for its Rest APIs, does support deployment on Netty. Is there a way that I can deploy at least Camunda’s engine-rest on Netty?

Thanks,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,

You can try to use the engine-rest via Spring Boot.
Please check this example.

Thanks for your reply, @yana.vasileva. I’m not sure how this approach would help me though.

We’re looking for a mostly standalone process engine, not embedded within our own applications. From the Spring Boot example you shared, I doubt that is possible.

Is there a more direct way to deploy Camunda as a standalone solution but on Netty?

Thanks,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,

Unfortunately I don’t have experience with Netty and I am not able to suggest you solution for it.
In theory it is possible to combine Netty with embedded camunda engine however you need to implement it by your own.
