Would it be possible to use the camunda as stateless? I want to create a springboot application with service tasks only, would not like to save data, or create human tasks, is it possible to work without a database? Could I just instantiate the camunda dependency on my pom.xml without a database? Is there any example on github that I can see?
Thanks =)
You need a database of some kind to run camunda.
But if you want, you can use an in memory H2 database and it’s pretty easy to create a synchronous process. Considering you’re only using service tasks assuming they’re just classes in your spring boot application.
An additional thing would be to keep your history level as “NONE”, so even in your in-memory database you keep the writing at a minimum.
Please check https://docs.camunda.org/manual/latest/user-guide/process-engine/history/#choose-a-history-level
You can set this up in your application.yml like the following:
camunda.bpm..history-level: AUDIT
For more information on the engine configuration in springboot, please check: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/latest/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/configuration/#camunda-engine-properties
Kind Regards.
