Moving to Camunda Cloud

Some background I’ve written a bit about using Camunda to do all sorts of things from automating IoT processes to helping with the management of a Slack community. Ok, so I haven’t written about all of those things, but I’ve certainly done them. In all of those projects I’ve used Camunda Platform 7 to deploy and run my processes, but most of the actual work was done by external tasks which I wrote in Golang.

Some Background When I first started at Camunda back in October, 2020 (what was 2020 anyway?) the very first thing I was asked to do was come up with something I could do for a special Halloween blog post.

Swagger API access with Camunda Platform

Have you ever fired up the Camunda Platform Docker instance and wished you could do live-calls to the API via a swagger server? We have! And like most things we wish we could do, we go out and make it happen. Coming Soon To be clear, this integration is coming to the official Camunda Platform Docker container with release 7.15. It’s just not ready yet. So this is really more of an interim solution rather than the be-all and end-all solution, but it works, and it makes sending API calls to a live instance of Camunda Platform a lot easier.
