The February 2024 Camunda paper explores how process automation works alongside Apache Kafka in modern, event‑driven architectures. It explains that Kafka is often used to automate business processes by streaming events across distributed systems, frequently in combination with orchestration engines. The paper discusses how microservice orchestration provides control and visibility over long‑running processes, while event‑driven architectures enable scalable, reactive behavior through emergent process flows. It highlights the complementary roles of event streaming and orchestration in balancing flexibility with reliability. Overall, the paper shows how combining Kafka with process orchestration helps organizations coordinate microservices, manage complexity, and build resilient, event‑driv
