Camunda
Camunda is an open platform for agentic orchestration that coordinates AI agents, people, and systems across end-to-end business processes. It targets enterprises that need governed, auditable automation spanning many backends, not just single-task bots. More than 750 organizations use it in production, including major banks, insurers, and tech companies.
The platform combines BPMN process modeling with the Zeebe orchestration engine so deterministic steps, human approvals, and agent reasoning run in one executable model. ProcessOS adds discovery and mining to surface how work actually flows before you build. Connectors cover ERP, CRM, Kafka, SAP, and LLM providers over MCP, A2A, and REST.
Camunda suits teams automating regulated or long-running workflows: loan origination, claims handling, onboarding, fraud checks, and network operations. Modeler, Operate, Tasklist, Optimize, Console, and Identity ship as one stack, available as SaaS or self-managed on Kubernetes.

What is agentic orchestration in Camunda?
Camunda defines agentic orchestration as coordinating AI agents, humans, and systems within governed boundaries. Agentic BPMN lets deterministic workflow steps, human tasks, and agent reasoning run in one executable process with a single audit trail.
Can Camunda orchestrate any AI agent framework or LLM?
Yes. Camunda is agent-agnostic and supports any agent framework or custom build calling any LLM provider via MCP, A2A, or REST. Process logic stays portable as standard BPMN when models or frameworks change.
Is Camunda available as SaaS or self-hosted?
Both. Camunda SaaS runs on AWS and Google Cloud with region-locked clusters. Camunda Self-Managed deploys on Kubernetes across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OpenShift, or on-premises, including air-gapped environments.
What compliance certifications does Camunda hold?
Camunda maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR compliance. SaaS production tiers include a 99.9% SLA. Full certification details are published in the Camunda Trust Center at trust.camunda.com.
How does Camunda handle long-running processes?
The Zeebe engine persists state at every step so processes can wait days or weeks for external replies and resume exactly where they left off. Built-in timers send reminders, escalate cases, and expire workflows without custom polling logic.
Will I be charged during the Camunda SaaS trial?
No. Camunda SaaS trials are free for 30 days and usage during the trial is not billed during or after it ends. When the trial expires, you can upgrade to Enterprise or keep the free account limited to collaborative BPMN and DMN modeling.
