Fluxnova: The FINOS Fork of Camunda 7
Reviewed October 2026
Fluxnova is the Fintech Open Source Foundation's community fork of the last Apache 2.0-licensed version of Camunda 7, hosted by FINOS. It preserves an enterprise-grade business process orchestration engine under a permissive open-source license, in response to Camunda's shift to a more restrictive license model.
FINOS announced Fluxnova on October 21, 2025, naming four financial institutions as partners in the launch.

Why Fluxnova Exists
Camunda 7 was the de facto open-source business process orchestration engine for regulated industries. When the license changed, financial institutions that had built compliance and trading workflows on Camunda 7 faced a choice: migrate, accept the new license terms, or fork. FINOS took the fork path, under neutral foundation governance, Apache 2.0 and the Linux Foundation's operational model.
Release History
Version 3.0 went GA in July 2026: Spring Boot 4, fourteen further library upgrades, and Control Center in place of Cockpit. Version 3.1.1 followed on 23 October 2026 and removed JBoss and WildFly support. The release notes for each version are on the project's GitHub releases page.
Why It Matters for AI Governance
Fluxnova orchestrates business processes. Many of those processes now include AI-driven steps: agent-mediated actions, model invocations and tool calls. Running Fluxnova and AI workloads on the same managed infrastructure is the practical path to unified evidence across both regulatory domains: trade reporting and AI governance.
