Hi,
Do we have any connectors available to make gRPC call from BPMN?
I tried to find out but no luck so posting here.
For now I’m thinking to implement same using worker.
Let me know if connector is available for this.
Thank you in advance.
Hi @camundabpmlearner - there is not a Connector that I’m aware of that does this. What would the use case for interacting directly with the process engine from your model?
Hi @nathan.loding
We have several microservices which communicate each other using gRPC and so we also want to communicate with them from zebee using same gRPC. Connector helps to increase low code, hence searching for the same.
That’s makes perfect sense, and exactly the intended use of the Connectors. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there are any Connectors enabling gRPC calls at the moment. If you’re looking at using a job worker, it would not be much additional effort to turn it into a reusable Connector, which could then be shared with the community!
Im new to zeebe so Im not sure how to create connectors
They are very similar to job workers. I personally learned the most by looking at the existing Connectors. We also have some documentation and a blog post that walks through building an entire Connector from start to finish.
The key to Connectors is the Runtime. The Connector Runtime is the bridge between Zeebe and your code. You build a template, which defines the UI for the Connector in Modeler; then you write the logic for your Connector using our SDK; then you launch the Runtime with your newly written code!
