Get started with Camunda 8 and Spring Boot

This project demonstrates the use of Spring Boot and the Spring Zeebe SDK to interact with a local Self-Managed Camunda installation.

Written guide

A guide for developing this project is available in the Camunda docs. See that guide for step-by-step instructions and more detailed explanations.

Interactions with Zeebe

Included in this project are examples of:

1. Deploying a process model.
2. Initiating a process instance.
3. Handling a service task.

Prerequisites

1. A running Self-Managed Camunda installation (see the associated guide for instructions).
2. Maven.
3. Version 17+ of a Java Development Kit (JDK).

Running the project

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run the project:

   mvn spring-boot:run

You should see output indicating that a process has been deployed, a process instance has been started, and a service task has been handled.

Troubleshooting

If the project fails to run, check the following:
