About Camunda
Camunda is a leading process orchestration platform that enables organizations to design, automate, and improve business processes. Founded in Berlin, it is built on open standards like BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) and DMN (Decision Model and Notation), ensuring a common language between business stakeholders and IT developers. The platform is designed to handle 'big workflows'—complex, high-volume processes that span across people, systems, and devices. With the release of Camunda 8, the company transitioned to a cloud-native architecture capable of massive scale. While the company maintains an open-source core (historically Apache 2.0), its enterprise offerings provide advanced monitoring, analytics (Optimize), and cloud hosting, serving massive global brands in highly regulated sectors such as finance, insurance, and telecommunications.
