Camunda Extends Support for Camunda 7, Encourages Migration to Camunda 8
Camunda, a leading open-source workflow and decision automation platform, has announced an extended support period for its Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition. The support will continue until April 2030, offering organizations more flexibility to prepare for migration to Camunda 8.
The final feature release of Camunda 7 (version 7.24) is scheduled for October 14, 2025. After this date, no further releases, including security patches, will be made for Camunda 7 Community Edition. However, Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition will remain supported through 2030, with ongoing security patches and bug fixes released every April and October until April 2030.
Camunda recommends that organizations plan their migration from Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition to Camunda 8 before October 2025. This timeline allows for a smooth transition, taking advantage of the continued enterprise support until 2030.
Organizations are encouraged to leverage resources available to aid in the migration process. These resources include a "Why Migrate from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8" blog post, Camunda 8 feature roadmap, migration guide, Migration Evaluation Workshop, Migration Hub, and the opportunity to discuss migration with their Customer Success Manager, Technical Account Manager, Consulting team, partner, and other customers.
The migration to Camunda 8 offers significant benefits, including a cloud-native architecture and features suited for modern orchestration needs, such as elastic scalability and AI integrations. These advancements represent a significant evolution beyond Camunda 7.
Camunda remains committed to removing migration blockers between Camunda 7 and Camunda 8 and empowering organizations' success every step of the way. Customers can leave feedback via the forum to provide input on the migration process.
For those requiring continued support for solutions running on Camunda 7 Community Edition beyond October 14, 2025, Camunda offers the option to explore an Enterprise license and take advantage of extended support timelines. An Extended Support Option is available for an additional fee from April 2030 through April 2032.
