In April 2022, Camunda released Camunda Platform 8, (now Camunda 8) as a rebranding to Camunda Cloud, incorporating the cloud-native workflow and decision engine Zeebe. It is being developed and supported primarily as a cloud-based platform in parallel to Activiti-based Camunda 7. Camunda 7 will be supported, with full support for the Enterprise version until April 2027. After that, it will only receive bug fixes and security updates. Key differences between Camunda 7 and Camunda 8 include Camunda 8's cloud-native architecture and its use of the Zeebe engine, while Camunda 7 relies on a monolithic, Activiti-based design. Additionally, Camunda 7 is available for free, while Camunda 8 is a paid offering. This evolution presents migration challenges for organizations, especially those with complex, customized workflows or on-premise deployments, requiring careful planning and adaptation to transition to the new platform.
