Camunda is developed by Camunda as an open source project in collaboration with the community. This is the basis for the Camunda product provided by Camunda as a commercial offering.

The commercial Camunda 7 product contains additional (non-open source) features and is provided to Camunda customers with service offerings such as enterprise support and bug fix releases.

Community Extensions

Camunda supports the community in its effort to build additional community extensions under the Camunda umbrella. Such community extensions are maintained by the community and are not part of the commercial Camunda product.

The Camunda Community Hub is a GitHub organization that serves as the home of Camunda open source, community-contributed extensions. You can migrate an extension you’ve built to the Hub, search for existing extensions, or get started with open source by helping community extension maintainers with open issue or pull request triage.

You can also visit the Camunda Community Hub community repository to learn more about migrating your community extension into the community hub, benefits to joining the Camunda Community Hub organization, contributing to an extension, and much more.

The Camunda Community Hub enables developers to have a centralized home for their Camunda community extensions, and aids new contributors to open source software in discovering new projects to work on.
