FORGE · MANAGED FLUXNOVA
Fluxnova on Forge is the FINOS Fluxnova distribution for capital markets, delivered as a managed, governed runtime inside the Governed Tooling Layer of Forge. FINOS AIGF v2.0 aligned. Reign-instrumented. Operated by iTmethods.
The community maintains Fluxnova.
Nobody operates it for you.
Fluxnova is healthy, actively maintained, and just shipped its largest release since the fork. What an open project does not give a regulated institution is release engineering, a signed distribution, migration execution, and an accountable party at 2am. That is the part we do.

Two migrations are on the table right now.
You are on Camunda 7
Community Edition is past end of life. Your process definitions are load bearing and a re-platform is not on the table. Fluxnova is the compatible path, and the move is an infrastructure project before it is anything else.
You are already on Fluxnova
Version 3.0 upgraded Spring Boot and fourteen end-of-life libraries. Cockpit is being retired. JBoss and WildFly support is ending. If you run either app server, you have a forced move with a date on it.
We benchmarked it rather than asserting it.
An identical thousand-workflow invoice process, run on Camunda 7, Fluxnova, and Camunda 8, on matched infrastructure.

Model changes needed to move from Camunda 7
Fluxnova can now run AI agents inside your business processes.
Version 3.0 shipped MCP integration and agentic adhoc subprocesses. Agents can invoke processes, and determine their own steps at runtime from prompts and business context. This is GA, not roadmap.
An adhoc subprocess does not declare its steps in advance. The engine will faithfully record that it ran. It has no opinion on whether the agent should have done what it did.
Three Problems. One Stack.
Every regulated institution running Camunda 7 faces the same challenge: migrate to a proprietary platform, run unsupported, or take a different path.
Vendor Independence
Fluxnova is Apache 2.0 under FINOS governance. No per-seat licensing. No proprietary lock-in. Sponsored and contributed to by major global financial institutions. Public details on the FINOS Fluxnova project page.
Multi-Deployment Flexibility
Hosted dedicated for fast deployment. Customer cloud in your own AWS, Azure or GCP account for OSFI data residency. Air-gapped in development for 2027. Camunda 8 cannot offer this.
Reign-Governable When You Need It.
Forge runs Fluxnova as a sovereign managed runtime. When you need AI governance. Policy enforcement at the model layer, audit-ready decision trails, multi-agent trust boundaries, and framework-mapped evidence. Reign sits on top. See /reign for the governance story.
What Fluxnova Looks Like at Production Scale
Fidelity and Deutsche Bank run Fluxnova independently, with their own internal teams. They are not iTmethods customers and have not used Managed Fluxnova on Forge. Their public remarks show what the underlying platform, and the managed shared-service operating model Forge sells, look like at the scale of the two largest known Fluxnova deployments.
“Fidelity runs 120 live business processes and 100M+ process instances a year on Fluxnova, tested to 1.5M instances an hour.”
Craig Kitching
Head of Digital Automation Platform, Fidelity Investments
OSFF Toronto 2026
“Fidelity's first Fluxnova process went from inception to production in under 30 days — saving an estimated 50,000 hours of manual effort.”
Craig Kitching
Head of Digital Automation Platform, Fidelity Investments
OSFF Toronto 2026
“Delivering this internally piecemeal on a per-application basis is really not the way to go... we decided to take Fluxnova as the core product and deliver it into the organization via a shared service.”
Miguel Capitao
Head of Technical Architecture, Deutsche Bank

Three layers. Three owners. No overlap.
Summit58 owns the process. Forge owns the platform. Reign owns the assurance. Naming the boundary is how these engagements stay out of trouble.
Forge Infrastructure
SOC 2 Type II certified Kubernetes. Automated patching, monitoring, alerting, backup/DR. 24/7 operational support with dedicated TAM. Support scope and service levels documented per engagement.
Fluxnova Engine
BPMN 2.0 and DMN orchestration. Visual Modeler, Monitoring Cockpit, REST API. Full Camunda 7 compatibility. Zero licensing cost. Apache 2.0.
Reign Governance
Optional governance layer on top. Policy enforcement at the model access layer, audit-ready decision trails, multi-agent trust boundaries, and framework-mapped evidence. See /reign.
Run It Where You Need It
Every regulated enterprise has different infrastructure requirements. Forge runs Fluxnova in three shapes, with the same governance posture in each.
Hosted dedicated
Single-tenant managed infrastructure, operated by iTmethods and connected securely to your trust boundary. Fast deployment, lower entry point. For mid-tier financial services and credit unions.
Customer cloud
Deployed and managed inside your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Full isolation with managed operations. For banks and data residency requirements.
Air-gapped
No external network egress, for the most constrained environments. In development, targeted 2027.
Built for Regulated Enterprise
Managed Fluxnova on Forge is for organizations that:
- ✓Run Camunda 7 CE or EE in production and need a migration path
- ✓Operate in OSFI, OCC, FCA, or ECB-regulated environments
- ✓Require vendor-neutral, open-source orchestration with enterprise SLAs
- ✓Are deploying AI agents into production workflows and need governance
- ✓Need multi-deployment flexibility (hosted dedicated, customer cloud, air-gapped)
Everything You Need to Know About Fluxnova
Answers to common questions about Fluxnova, Camunda 7 migration, deployment options, and AI governance.
A FINOS community fork of Camunda 7 Community Edition, launched in October 2025 with Fidelity Investments, NatWest Group, Deutsche Bank and Capital One. Apache 2.0, BPMN and DMN, hosted under the Linux Foundation.
Yes, actively. Version 3.0 shipped in July 2026 with a Spring Boot 4 upgrade, fourteen further library upgrades, a new Control Center UI, and a plugin ecosystem. The gap for a regulated institution is not maintenance. It is operation.
Spring Boot 4 and fourteen end-of-life library upgrades, a Control Center UI covering process definitions, heat maps, instance migration and incident replay, adhoc subprocesses, restricted variables for PII, a plugin ecosystem, MCP integration, and agentic adhoc subprocesses.
Yes. Fluxnova maintains backward compatibility with Camunda 7 BPMN 2.0 and DMN models. Existing process definitions, decision tables and REST integrations move directly.
Support scope and service levels are documented per engagement and available under NDA. We run inside your trust boundary: hosted dedicated, or inside your own cloud account. Air-gapped is in development, targeted 2027.
