We are looking at Flowable(new but with history) and Camunda(established and with history). It seems flowable is more user friendly, but besides that, Camunda has 27000 ines of code vs Flowable 9000. Now that doesn’t mean anything, so I’d like to hear the advantages and disadvantages of each BPM. …

Hi, How did you come to 9000 lines of code? Did you count the lines in the different modules of Flowable? Both project have the same origin but have went their own way after that. With Flowable 6 there are a lot of improvements to the core engine that are only available in the Flowable project, n…

Hi, tijs I have being studying Flowable recently and I’m sure it’s an excellent BMP engine. But Camunda looks like it has more improvement on performance and HA. https://camunda.com/products/performance/ I really want to hear your opinion about this article and whether Flowable has the same or bet…

Hi, Thanks for asking this question. I think that I can say that it’s actually the other way around in regards to performance improvements and general engine improvement. Camunda was forked from Activiti when we were still doing most of the Activiti engine work and they stayed on the Activiti 5…

The execution tree is rewritten and allows for a lot more flexibility and predictability. Could please elaborate on predictability. Do you mean that some times there will be flaws in execution? If so what are those cases

In the “v5” architecture (Activiti, Camunda, Flowable 5), the execution tree has all kinds of optimizations and reuse of scopes that makes it very hard to predict exactly what the process is by looking at its execution tree. There are some situations where a BPMN process will go into a loop and jus…

Indeed flowable is good. What i think would make it better is a few clear tutorials and a more comprehensive documentation on BPMN. I mean like a document to teach BPMN using flowable and it’s functionalities. that would be awesome.

As of 2020, Are there any noteworthy Flowable improvements happened in comparison with Camunda?

There’s a release planned next week - look out for that, as it has some big improvements and new features. If you take a look at the Flowable release notes since we started, you’ll see what architectural improvements have been made - the v6 execution model, DB abstraction, async history, refactorin…

I’m afraid Flowable’s migration does not work as expected. Even using the same process definition to migrate a started process instance cause abnormalities: some tasks just disappear. Here is another thread describing the same issue: Process Migration with Active Parallel Executions in Subprocess
