To provide greater flexibility in the transition to Camunda 8, the End-of-Life (EoL) date for Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition has been extended from April 2027 to April 2030. This extension allows for a smoother and more adaptable migration timeline. Details on the updated support dates and their implications are provided below
Camunda 8 is the next evolution in process orchestration—designed to deliver immediate business value while supporting future-ready enterprise architecture. Built on open standards and a composable architecture, it enables seamless orchestration and automation of end-to-end business processes. Camunda 8 also introduces significant enhancements, including massive horizontal scalability, improved collaboration between business and IT, expanded connectivity, and integrated intelligence—from AI co-pilots to agent orchestration
The End-of-Life (EoL) date for Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition has been officially extended from April 2027 to April 9, 2030, giving organizations additional time to plan and execute their migration to Camunda 8.
Updated Key Milestones:
| Aspect | Camunda 7 | Camunda 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Monolithic Java-based (Tomcat/Spring Boot) | Cloud-native, distributed microservices architecture (Zeebe engine) |
| Workflow Engine | Job Executor (thread-based) | Zeebe (event-driven, horizontally scalable) |
| Deployment | WAR deployments or embedded in Spring Boot | Container-based (Docker, Kubernetes), SaaS & Self-managed options |
| Persistence | Relational DB (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) with ACID transactions | Event-sourcing with RocksDB and Elasticsearch |
| BPMN Execution | Supports BPMN, DMN, CMMN | Supports BPMN & DMN (no CMMN); streaming execution |
| User Task Handling | Task list UI integrated with engine | External Task list app connected via REST/GraphQL |
| Extensibility | Java Delegates, Scripts, Task Listeners | Job Workers (gRPC/REST) in any language |
| Monitoring & Metrics | Cockpit (basic) with enterprise-only advanced features | Operate (rich observability) & Optimize for analytics (SaaS or Self-managed) |
| AI Capabilities | Manual integration via service tasks or external ML services | Native support for AI connectors, GPT integration, intelligent decisioning |
With the End-of-Life extension, organizations using Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition will continue receiving security patches and support through April 2030, offering additional time and flexibility to plan migration strategies.
Although the EoL date has been extended, it is strongly advised to use this period proactively:
The End-of-Life (EoL) date for Camunda 7 Community Edition remains unchanged. The final feature release, version 7.24, is still scheduled for October 14, 2025. Following this release, the repository will be archived, and no additional updates—including security patches—will be provided.
For organizations requiring ongoing support for solutions built on Camunda 7 Community Edition after this date, an upgrade to an Enterprise Edition license is recommended. This option offers continued support and access to extended support timelines.
Camunda remains focused on eliminating migration barriers between Camunda 7 and Camunda 8. As innovation continues across process orchestration and automation, the goal is to ensure organizations are fully supported throughout their transition and beyond.
