Version compatibility: Camunda Platform 8 and Zeebe Worker

[tobiasschaefer]

Hi all,

we are currently on Camunda Platform 8.2.x SaaS and are using Zeebe Worker 8.2.x.

Is there a recommended update order? Should we first update our cluster to 8.3.x or the Zeebe Worker to 8.3.x? Or will any order work safely?

I looked at Update 8.2 to 8.3 | Camunda 8 Docs and also Supported environments | Camunda 8 Docs but it doesn’t seem to answer my general question.

Best,
Tobias

Hey @jonathan.lukas ,

I stumbled across my own question in the forum and still don’t have a definite answer. It seems that in practice the order doesn’t make a difference but can you confirm?

The documentation still doesn’t seem to have an answer.

Best,
Tobias

Hello @tobiasschaefer ,

thank you for tagging me here. In general, we expect clients to be compatible with newer versions.

However, clients should use the same minor release version as the API / the server.

You got a point in saying that this is not properly documented. I will forward this to the documentation team <3

Best regards,
Jonathan
