Hello guys!
I need to organize several processes in a company where they are using camunda 8 saas mode.
What is the best option to organize the prod clusters?
a) A single cluster that hosts all processes, regardless of their criticality (high, low, or medium) when using the Raft consensus and replication protocol, we no longer have the database bottleneck that Camunda 7 had.
b) several cluster prod, organized depending of the processes criticity maybe also the processsing capacity.
Thanks guys
Hi,
Short answer, it depends…In my experience, you need to trade off cost, performance and manageability…
One cluster may minimise cost, but you have to upgrade everything at once and thus testing and risk level are high. With more clusters partitioning your process landscape, its easier to upgrade and thus lower risk, but potentially more costly etc…

Hello @Webcyberrob
Thanks for your opinion. I’m evaluating all the alternatives.
We are going to use the tasklist application. The problem with using several clusters is that the user needs to access different applications to see the tasks they are going to work on.
If you develop a new BFF (Back-End For Frontend) component, it will perform various tasks by aggregating searches across all the tasklist applications in different clusters.
