Fluxnova: The FINOS Fork of Camunda 7
Fluxnova is the Fintech Open Source Foundation's community fork of the last Apache 2.0-licensed version of Camunda 7, hosted under the Linux Foundation. It preserves an enterprise-grade business process orchestration engine under a permissive open-source license — a response to Camunda's shift to a more restrictive license model.
Fluxnova has sponsors and contributors from Fidelity, Deutsche Bank, NatWest, Capital One, and BMO publicly visible on the project page. TD Bank cited Fluxnova as a primary driver when joining FINOS as a Platinum member on April 13, 2026.
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.
Why It Matters for AI Governance
Fluxnova orchestrates business processes. Many of those processes now include AI-driven steps — agent-mediated actions, model invocations, 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.
Managed Fluxnova on Forge
iTmethods Forge operates Fluxnova under enterprise SLA (99.95%) with the same managed infrastructure that runs AI workloads governed by Reign. One operating model. One pane of evidence. Same FINOS alignment for both business process orchestration and AI governance.
