Service
In today's IT architectures, microservices and serverless functions play an increasingly important role. But how can you create meaningful, comprehensive, and connected business solutions if the individual components are decoupled and independent by design? This book provides a framework through examples and practical advice, and reveals how you can design complex processes in such an environment to deliver true business value.
Systems that become more distributed, asynchronous, and reactive usually require state handling to deal with long-running interactions. Author Bernd Ruecker demonstrates how to use process automation technology to apply typical long-running patterns around resiliency, messaging, orchestration, or consistency without forcing your service implementation to become stateful itself.
With this guide, you'll discover how process automation compares to business process management, service-oriented architecture, batch processing, event streaming, and data pipeline solutions.
Bernd Ruecker is a software developer by heart and has been innovating process automation deployed in highly scalable and agile environments of industry leaders such as T-Mobile, Lufthansa, ING, and Atlassian. He's focused on new process automation paradigms that fit into modern architectures around distributed systems, microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, and reactive systems. Bernd has been contributing to various open-source workflow engines for more than 15 years and is the cofounder and chief technologist of Camunda—an open source software company reinventing process automation. He's a coauthor of the popular book Real-Life BPMN, now in its sixth edition and available in English, German, and Spanish, as well as a sought-after speaker at conferences around the world and a frequent contributor to several technology publications.
