BPMN Subprocesses and How to Use Them in Camunda

This 17-minute video tutorial by Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan explores the different types of BPMN subprocesses and their implementation in Camunda. Learn about embedded subprocesses, call activities, ad-hoc subprocesses, and event-based subprocesses while understanding what each does, important considerations, common use cases, and best BPMN patterns to use with them. Discover how Zeebe, Camunda's advanced workflow engine, executes each subprocess type. The tutorial includes a special focus on how ad-hoc subprocesses support injecting non-deterministic behavior into otherwise deterministic processes, making them ideal for implementing AI agents. Follow along as Niall demonstrates these concepts using Camunda Web Modeler, with a clear breakdown of topics: introduction (0:00), embedded subprocesses (0:44), call activities (3:39), ad-hoc subprocesses (9:12), and event-based subprocesses (12:24). Perfect for developers and business analysts looking to enhance their BPMN modeling skills and leverage subprocesses effectively in process automation.
