Process orchestration and workflow automation platform
Camunda opens the 8.11 cycle with a cluster API and more process-variable controls.

◆Current state
Camunda released 8.11.0-alpha1 after two release candidates, bringing cluster secrets in managed mode, a public cluster API for upgrade checks, and variable metadata on process instance creation across gRPC, REST and MCP. The rest of the feed is Optimize patch builds and release-tooling artifacts.
◆Where it's heading
Camunda is making the engine easier to run and automate: cluster-level APIs, typed shard configuration, and the same process controls exposed over MCP as over REST. Exposing process start through MCP points at AI agents driving workflows directly.
◆Prediction
Further 8.11 alphas will likely add more cluster management APIs and MCP parity for process operations.
