About:
zbctl is the official command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with Camunda Zeebe, a workflow engine for microservices orchestration. It allows developers and operators to manage process instances, deploy workflows, and inspect job status directly from the terminal. This tool is essential for automating Zeebe interactions and integrating the engine into CI/CD pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Deploy BPMN processes and manage process instances
  • Create and complete jobs for workflow tasks
  • Inspect cluster status and topology
  • Execute commands non-interactively for scripting
Use Cases:
  • Automating workflow deployment in CI/CD pipelines
  • Debugging and inspecting process execution in development environments
  • Managing Zeebe clusters via command-line scripts
Alternatives:
  • zeebe-node – Node.js client library for building Zeebe integrations within applications.
  • camunda-modeler – Graphical desktop application for modeling BPMN diagrams, not for CLI execution.
