Hi @raficruz,

You understood that correctly, yes, they are stored internally.

You may want to have a look at other topics like this one here:

External Task not found: Camunda API and Kafka

Hi all, My current architecture is like this: [56] Spring Boot application start a new process vía API. On camunda instance, I have a plugin which publish every external task in Kafka. Once the first external task starts, Camunda publish an event in Kafka, Spring Boot application try to fetch and lock this task, but I receive and error due there is no task. If I open the cockpit, there is already a task, but I’m thinking maybe, the event is published too fast, and the task is not yet creat…

An external system like Kafka is used here to handle the queue of ExternalTasks.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Tobias
