We’re concerned about vendor lock-in with our current Camunda implementation. Looking for strategies to maintain portability of existing workflows while adopting more flexible automation tools. Specifically interested in:
Any experiences with platforms offering template marketplaces or workflow conversion tools? How much recoding was required?
Migrated 120+ Camunda workflows using Latenode’s visual importer. Most BPMN elements converted automatically. The marketplace templates cut our rebuild time by 70%.
Pro tip: Use the JavaScript layer for custom logic instead of XSLT. Way easier to maintain.
We maintained parallel systems during transition. Key steps:
Platforms with npm package support handled 80% of our custom logic without rewrite. Remaining 20% became reusable modules.
Focus on business logic extraction first. We used Camunda’s audit logs to identify core processes worth migrating. Platforms allowing code-level customization reduced rewrite needs by importing existing Java libraries directly into new workflows.
