Get started with Camunda
Get started with Camunda 8, the universal process orchestrator you can use to orchestrate and automate complex business processes that span people, systems, and devices.
You can deploy Camunda 8 in two ways:
- Camunda 8 SaaS: A fully managed cloud service for rapid deployment and minimal operational overhead.
- Camunda 8 Self-Managed: A self-hosted solution for organizations requiring full control over their infrastructure.
Camunda 8 combines powerful execution engines for BPMN processes and DMN decisions with tools for collaborative modeling, operations, and analytics. Camunda 8 components work together to form the complete Camunda 8 experience, allowing you to design, automate, and improve your business processes.
