Abstract
Sun 15:35 - 16:20 Uhr | 2019
New tools and frameworks have popped up around workflow automation, sometimes framed as microservice orchestration engines. Many of these got their start “organically”, where companies built a tool to solve their own problem. From Airbnb came Apache Airflow, from Netflix came Conductor, from Uber came Cadence, Amazon offers Step Functions, Google has Cloud Composer, and Camunda is working on Zeebe.
So workflow automation is far more than human task management or the “BPM dinosaur”. In this talk I discuss typical use cases of workflow automation, dive into philosophies and flow languages of relevant tools, and show concrete code examples and live demos. I will not only wear a developer’s hat but also look at operations, DevOps and the link to business stakeholders. Afterwards, you’ll better understand the role of workflow automation in your project and have some initial criteria for selecting a tool.
As co-founder of a workflow automation vendor, I am definitely opinionated – but as workflow automation addict with 15 years of real-world experience, the presentation will be rooted in the frontline customer engagements that have formed those opinions.

Vortragsimpressionen
Ich entwickle seit über 15 Jahren Software und habe zahlreichen Kunden dabei geholfen, Kernprozesse zu automatisieren, so z.B. der Bestellprozesse bei Zalando, Auftragsprozesse bei T-Mobile oder Patentanträge in der Schweiz. Ich habe aktiv an der Entwicklung verschiedener Open Source Workflow Engines mitgearbeitet und bin Mitgründer der Camunda, ein Open Source Unternehmen das Workflow Automatisierung neu erfindet. Ich bin Co-Autor des “Praxishandbuch BPMN”, spreche regelmäßig auf Konferenzen und schreibe für verschiedene Magazine. Seit geraumer Zeit beschäftige ich mit Workflow Automation Paradigmen die in moderne Architekturen rund um Microservices, Domain Driven Design, Event Driven Architecture und reaktiver Systeme passen.
