C8 and java zeebe with ng frontend

 Certainly, here's a high-level example of how you might set up communication between an Angular client and a Camunda 8 instance using the Zeebe Java client for workflow orchestration. Please note that this is a simplified example, and you would need to adapt it to your specific use case and environment.


1. **Java Backend (Zeebe Client):**


Assuming you have a Java backend that serves as an intermediary between your Angular frontend and Camunda/Zeebe, you can use the Zeebe Java client to interact with Zeebe. Here's a basic example of how you might set up a simple process instance:


```java

import io.zeebe.client.ZeebeClient;


public class ZeebeService {


    public void startWorkflowInstance() {

        final ZeebeClient client = ZeebeClient.newClientBuilder()

                .brokerContactPoint("localhost:26500") // Replace with your Zeebe broker address

                .build();


        client.newCreateInstanceCommand()

                .bpmnProcessId("process-id") // Replace with your BPMN process ID

                .send().join();


        client.close();

    }

}

```


2. **Angular Frontend:**


For the Angular frontend, you might use Angular's HTTP client to communicate with your Java backend. Here's a simple example of an Angular service that triggers the workflow:


```typescript

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';


@Injectable({

  providedIn: 'root'

})

export class WorkflowService {


  private backendUrl = 'http://localhost:8080'; // Replace with your backend URL


  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }


  startWorkflow() {

    return this.http.post(`${this.backendUrl}/start-workflow`, {});

  }

}

```


3. **Java Backend (REST Endpoint):**


In your Java backend, create a REST endpoint to trigger the workflow using the Zeebe client. You might be using a framework like Spring Boot for this:


```java

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;


@RestController

public class WorkflowController {


    private final ZeebeService zeebeService;


    public WorkflowController(ZeebeService zeebeService) {

        this.zeebeService = zeebeService;

    }


    @PostMapping("/start-workflow")

    public void startWorkflow() {

        zeebeService.startWorkflowInstance();

    }

}

```

Sure, here's an example of how you might use the Zeebe Java client to interact with the Camunda Cloud (formerly known as Zeebe) REST connector in Camunda Cloud:


```java

import io.camunda.zeebe.client.ZeebeClient;

import io.camunda.zeebe.client.api.worker.JobWorker;

import io.camunda.zeebe.client.api.response.ActivatedJob;


public class ZeebeRestConnectorExample {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set up Zeebe client

        ZeebeClient zeebeClient = ZeebeClient.newClientBuilder()

                .brokerContactPoint("your-broker-address:26500") // Replace with your broker address

                .build();


        // Create a job worker

        JobWorker jobWorker = zeebeClient.newWorker()

                .jobType("rest-connector") // Replace with your job type

                .handler((client, job) -> {

                    // Perform your REST API call here

                    // You can access job variables using job.getVariables()


                    // Example: Print the variables

                    System.out.println("Job Variables: " + job.getVariables());


                    // Complete the job

                    client.newCompleteCommand(job.getKey())

                            .send()

                            .join();

                })

                .open();


        // Close the worker and the client when done

        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(zeebeClient::close));

    }

}

```


Make sure to replace `"your-broker-address:26500"` with the actual address of your Zeebe broker and `"rest-connector"` with your specific job type for the REST connector.


This example demonstrates how to create a Zeebe client, set up a job worker, and handle jobs by performing a REST API call. Remember to handle any exceptions and add appropriate error handling according to your use case.

Please remember that this is a simplified example meant to illustrate the concept. In a real-world scenario, you'd need error handling, security measures, and a more structured approach. Also, adapt the example to your specific Camunda and Zeebe configurations.

Micro Front and ui frameworks

 To mix technologies in a micro front-end architecture, where different parts of the application use different frameworks or libraries, there are several ways to approach this, and the technologies you mentioned—Astro, Nuxt, Next, and Vite—can play a role. Here's how you can mix them, along with new approaches to micro front-end architecture:  Micro Front-End Architecture Overview Micro front-ends involve breaking a frontend application into smaller, independent pieces (micro-apps), where each micro-app can be developed, deployed, and maintained separately. These micro-apps can use different technologies (React, Angular, Vue, etc.) and are usually stitched together by a wrapper or container that manages the composition and communication between them.  Approaches to Micro Front-Ends with Modern Tech  1.

Pause the Bossy

 Always when comes in a tech industry, people put a show off with terminologies, hypes, jargon etc. Think if an eco system, where everything works honestly and just, no need of even talking "diplomatic", or no show offs. The right person must be served just-fully.  They must get the remuneration in the standard, and those who are in the same category must not feel the regret or jealous in the same section unless for a knowledge gap. So basically, when we create such a society where equal rights, and equal privileges prevail, there wont be any ego, and the community grows progressively. If someone possess a bossy culture, if the management can't stop, it will harm the team, even the persons in actual life.

Pain Points in Development

        When finding a solution to a real world problem, if it involves a software component, definitely starts a "pain" to the developers. The environment configuration, as is to the tech solution, then the logic, optimization, unit testing, integration, business verification, deployment in stage and prod, after all the actual scenarios  where mostly all the stake holders missed something. But at the end, the whole blame comes to the one who "codes" it. Yes, the pain of being a software engineer is not so easy especially in development. Apart from mental stress, on calls, after all the physique posture problems, long lasting health issue... But still its a passion :)
