Under the Hood Technical Series

What to expect

Migrating from Camunda 7 to 8 can feel like a big leap, but you don’t have to do it alone or reinvent the wheel. In this recording, we take a hands-on look at the migration tooling that can help you streamline your migration, including:

  • Demo the Migration Analyzer & Diagram Converter, which scans your BPMN models and pinpoints what needs to change (and what’s ready to go). 
  • Walk through the Data Migrator for moving active Camunda 7 runtime instances to Camunda 8.
  • Review the Code Converter, including the API mapping guide, code conversion patterns, and OpenRewrite recipes, in addition to the Diagram Converter. 

We also talk about where these tools shine, where they're still growing, and how you can use them most effectively in real-world projects.

If you’re a developer or tech lead tasked with actually making the migration happen—not just deciding whether to do it—this recording is for you.

I'm a nerd, and proud of it! I love solving problems and technology is the best way to do that. I work professionally as a Developer Advocate for Camunda. On the side I'm a husband, father, collector of hobbies, gardener, and outdoorsman (hiking, camping, canoeing/kayaking). I enjoy working analog, with my hands, whenever possible. I hate chores and cleaning up after myself.
