Zeebe on Self-Managed

Zeebe is the process automation engine component within the Orchestration Cluster.

Within this section you will find detailed information about:

  • Zeebe Gateway - The Zeebe Gateway is a component of the Zeebe cluster; it can be considered the contact point for the Zeebe cluster which allows Zeebe clients to communicate with Zeebe brokers inside a Zeebe cluster.
  • Configuration - Explains the configuration options. These configuration options apply to both environments, but not to Camunda 8. In Camunda 8, the configuration is provided for you.
  • Security - Discusses the security aspects of running Zeebe and how to use them.
  • Operation - Outlines topics that become relevant when you want to operate Zeebe in production.
  • Exporters - The Orchestration Cluster includes built-in exporters for Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Camunda Exporter, and RDBMS (see RDBMS configuration). This section explains how exporters can be configured. For a general overview, refer to our exporters concept page. For broader guidance on secondary storage options, see secondary storage.
