NEWS FROM OUR DEVS: PRODUCT UPDATES

Camunda Platform 8.1

The first minor release expands our connectors library with out-of-the-box Connectors for Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, Google Drive, and Slack and officially introduces our Integration Framework to build custom Connectors for any system or technology with Connector SDK and Connector Templates.

Upgrades to modeler add our FEEL expression editor and intelligent code completion to map and transform data faster and more accurately.

Self-hosted environments now have official support for Amazon EKS and OpenShift, as well as a beta version of Web Modeler to experience online collaboration features.

Camunda Platform 7.18

This release delivers on several requests from customers and our community. Cockpit's updated batch operations view and user experience make it easier to manage high-volume batches safely.

Enhancements to log files now offer greater context to help fix incidents efficiently; logs contain the activity name, the engine, and the process definition key.

This release extends the list of supported application servers to include IBM WebSphere Liberty and more.
