Migration & Compatibility

Can I migrate from Camunda 7 to Fluxnova?

Yes. Fluxnova includes a migration utility that automates much of the transition, updating code, dependencies, and configurations to align with Fluxnova. Your existing process data is preserved and active workflows continue without interruption.

Does the Migration Tooling support migration from other process orchestration platforms?

Not just yet. Our initial focus is on providing a smooth migration path from Camunda 7, but expanding migration support from other process orchestration platforms is something we’re actively exploring for the future.

Will my existing BPMN and DMN models work?

Absolutely. BPMN and DMN models created for Camunda 7 work with Fluxnova without modification.

What happens to my existing workflows during migration?

In-flight cases continue running without disruption. The migrated environment supports both Camunda and Fluxnova namespaces to maintain compatibility throughout the transition.

Technology & Deployment

Where can I deploy Fluxnova?

Fluxnova runs as an embedded engine inside a Spring Boot microservice, so it inherits the deployment strategy of your host application. Whether you run on-premises, in containers, or in the cloud, Fluxnova fits seamlessly into your existing environment.

Which Java version does Fluxnova require?

Fluxnova requires Java 21.

Tools & Features

Does Fluxnova include modelling and monitoring tools?

Yes. Fluxnova includes a Modeler for BPMN and DMN design and a front-end UI for managing and monitoring process instances, both enhanced by ongoing community contributions.

Will analytics and reporting be available?

Fluxnova can integrate with your organisation’s preferred analytics platforms to meet reporting and insight needs.
