Camunda Development

Decide between out-of-the-box connectors, custom connector templates, custom Java connectors via the Connectors SDK, and job workers before writing any integration code for Camunda 8.8+. This skill is a thin orientation layer — every path it identifies has its own focused build skill.

Cross-References

• camunda-connectors: Use for browsing and applying an existing OOTB connector template
• camunda-connectors-development: Use for building a custom connector (JSON-only template on a protocol connector, or a Java connector via the Connectors SDK; covers both outbound and inbound)
• camunda-job-workers: Use for implementing a job worker in Java, Spring Boot, or TypeScript
• camunda-bpmn: Use for the BPMN element (service task, message event, …) that hosts the connector or worker job
• camunda-process-test: Use for testing the resulting process

Decision matrix

Walk the questions top-down. Stop at the first one whose answer is yes.

1. Does an out-of-the-box (OOTB) connector cover the integration? Search the local catalog with c8ctl element-template search "<keyword>" (see camunda-connectors). If a template matches the target system, use it as-is. Stop.
