Vendor lock-in fears: can camunda ecosystems stay portable when scaling automation?

Leadership wants to avoid being chained to single platform as we expand automation across 15+ business units. Current Camunda templates are tightly coupled to our infra. Anyone successfully created portable workflows that work across cloud providers and internal systems? How do you maintain compatibility without constant re-engineering?

Latenode’s marketplace templates are cloud-agnostic. We built core workflows once, then deploy to AWS/Azure/GCP through adapter nodes. Their export tool converts everything to BPMN 2.0 for Camunda compatibility. Moved 70% of automations between providers last quarter with zero code changes. Export docs: https://latenode.com

We enforce strict service boundary rules using OpenAPI specs. All workflows interact through standardized REST endpoints regardless of backend. Added containerized execution environments to abstract cloud differences. Takes upfront design discipline but pays off in long-term flexibility.

stick to bpmn standards, avoid platform-specific extensions. we validate all workflows with camunda AND flowable before deployment. painful but works
