Do we have an user amount limitation on the Camunda Community Version? How many users the application can run? Example: At&T Call Center could run on the Community Version?

Hey @atelo and welcome to the Camunda Forum! :slight_smile:
Licensing has changed in contrast to Camunda 7. @BerndRuecker explains this nicely in this blogpost

TLDR: You can use Zeebe for free but if you want to use any other of the tools in production you will need to pay. (e.g. Operate and Tasklist)
In Camunda 7 there was no limitation on Tasklist Users as the tool was Open Source.

Hopefully this answered your question already! :slight_smile:

Thomas,

Thanks for your answer, in case of using Camunda 7, is it completely open source? Or does it have any kind of limitation? Any kind of payment? Perfomance limitations?

So according to my example, AT&T could use Camunda 7 in their Nationwide Call Center with no payment. Correct? And about performance, does Camunda 7 support so many requests like that? Or because it is free, it does not support this type of huge enviroment?

Good questions @atelo! :slight_smile:

Camunda 7 does come in a community and an enterprise version. The community edition is completely open source whereas the enterprise version comes with some proprietary features. In the use case you have described you could use Camunda 7 without any fees if you rely on the Community edition.

In terms of performance Camunda 8 does scale way better than its predecessor. With how many process instances per second/minute/day are you calculating?

So far you can still rely on Camunda 7 - nevertheless you should keep in mind that Camunda will support Camunda Platform 7 with incremental feature updates, maintenance, and support for another 5 years minimum. Afterwards things might change.

Dependant on your performance requirements and the criticality of the process you want to automate it is worth thinking about Camunda 8 right away. :wink:

Thomas

5000 access per second, can Cmaunda 7 support this enviroment?

Thanks,
André.

Hi @atelo,

what kind of access do you mean?

In Camunda 7 all requests have to be handled in the relational database.

So engine performance is always a matter of database performance in Camunda 7. And it’s independent of Community or Enterprise version.

Hope this helps, Ingo

If you are talking about 5000 process instances pre second @atelo I would recommend to use Camunda 8 / Zeebe as a process engine. :wink:
