Load balance in camudna 8

Camunda 8 Topics
1

I am using camunda 8…and have a process defined in it…same process is also in legacy and we are not using camunda 24*7…it is up for certain time only…the problem is when camunda start and legacy stops all the pending cases are transfered to camunda at once…since i have lot of job worker it slows down and processing takes lot of time…

is there a way i can handle this and maybe put some instances in wait state after it starts and process then in batch or maybe process them few at a time…I cannot start the instances in batch because it is automatically triggered after legacy stops working

You can increase the number of brokers and/or gateways which will make it easier to handle the larger load.

You can read about how that might work here: Clustering | Camunda 8 Docs

Zeebe is an event based process engine, so there are no transactions and so you don’t need to deal with wait states.

Can you explain in more detail exactly the numbers you’re dealing with when it comes to performance.

What’s the current configuration of your zeebe cluster?
How many brokers and partitions?

I’m still not clear on exactly where your bottle neck is - you have 6k processes per?? second? I’m not sure if the issue is that the processes aren’t starting or that there’s a large number waiting or that they’re not passing through the process quickly enough. Can you clarify.

Absoltuly, It’s likely to get through more instances if there are more workers working on each job type. So spinning up more workers is likely to help with individual processing.

I’d also suggest adding more brokers, maybe 5 or 7 that’ll be able to move the processes through faster as well.
