Camunda prototyping

A BPMN process mapped in the Modeler consists of individual interlinked steps. Each process can be viewed as a microservice, which is stored at a REST endpoint. Using the Camunda process engine, each process can be executed and tracked in a web interface. Each executed process and the resulting data are stored in an in-memory H2 database. This enables an evaluation using Camunda Optimize for later process optimisation. The Apache Tomcat web server, the database and the process engine itself are configured in Spring Boot and Maven, based on a Camunda archetype. Eclipse is used as the IDE. The use of Spring Boot makes it easy to assign a Java class to each step in a process, if necessary, in order to map the business logic. Using the REST API, a C# programme demonstrates that this is also possible outside of Camunda and without Java knowledge.
