    Reign OpsManaged Fluxnova

    The community maintains Fluxnova.
    Nobody operates it for you.

    Fluxnova is the FINOS distribution of the Camunda 7 engine, and it is healthy and actively maintained. 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 iTmethods operates.

    SOC 2 Type II on Reign Ops Apache 2.0 FINOS-backed

    Delivered as a single-tenant dedicated instance, in infrastructure iTmethods operates or in your own cloud account on AWS or Azure. Both are available today; Google Cloud is planned for 2027. Air-gapped and sovereign are in development.

    Who owns what three tiers
    Naming the boundary is how these engagements stay out of trouble The process Your BPMN and DMN models, your decision tables, your integrations Yours The platform The engine, the instance, patching, backup and restore, the pager Reign Ops The governance tier is optional, priced separately, and it is two products Reign Gateway available Identity, policy and a record on the model path Reign Assurance co-design Requirements become checks that run against the work The engine is Apache 2.0. Nothing here is a license you buy from us.
    Three tiers, and the third is optional. Reign Gateway is available today; Reign Assurance is in co-design development and is not available. A customer who takes neither loses nothing on this page.
    The decision you are actually making

    Two migrations are on the table right now.

    Which one you are looking at depends on where you already are, and they are not the same piece of work. One is a move off a dead edition. The other is a forced upgrade inside a live one.

    01You are on Camunda 7
    Community Edition is past end of life, and a re-platform is not on the table.

    Your process definitions are load bearing. Fluxnova is the compatible path, and the move is an infrastructure project before it is anything else. The migration path →

    02You are already on Fluxnova
    The upgrade has a date attached that somebody else set.

    Version 3.0 moved Spring Boot and fourteen end-of-life libraries. Cockpit is being retired, and JBoss and WildFly support is ending. If you run either app server, this is a forced move rather than a planned one.

    03Why not the proprietary platform
    Fluxnova is Apache 2.0 and backed by FINOS, with no per-seat license and no lock-in.

    It is sponsored and contributed to by global financial institutions, and the project is public. The alternative on the table is a different vendor relationship rather than a different engine.

    04Why it needs operating at all
    An open project ships releases. It does not hold a pager, and it does not sign anything.

    Release engineering, a signed distribution, patching on a cadence you agreed, and a named engineer when a process stops at 2am. That is the gap, and it is the whole of what this page is about.

    Partners

    Somebody has to design the process.

    Reign Ops operates the engine. It does not design what runs on it. Summit58 does that work: process analysis and BPMN modeling, decision logic and DMN, agentic process and subprocess design, systems and data integration, and Camunda 7 to Fluxnova migration. Where their fixes are accepted upstream, the wider Fluxnova community gets them too. They design the process, we operate the platform, and neither of us is guessing about which is which.

    “Fluxnova provides a strong, proven foundation for orchestrating agentic processes and defining the guardrails that keep each agent within its intended boundaries.”
    — Ryan Johnston, Founder and Managing Principal, Summit58

    Proof

    We benchmarked it rather than asserting it.

    An identical invoice process, one thousand workflow instances, run on Camunda 7, on Fluxnova and on Camunda 8, on matched infrastructure. The method and the raw results are published so you can judge how far they carry to your own models.

    15×Longer for Camunda 8 on the same workload

    Read the denominator. This is our invoice process on our infrastructure, and it tells you about our invoice process. The method is published so you can judge how far it carries to yours; your models are not our models. The published method and results → · Run it on your own volumes →

    Independent validation

    What the engine looks like at production scale.

    Two institutions run Fluxnova independently, with their own internal teams. They are not iTmethods customers and have not used Managed Fluxnova on Reign Ops. Their public remarks are cited here because they describe the engine, and the shared-service operating model, at the scale of the two largest known 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 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 · OSFF Toronto 2026

    Quoted from public conference remarks and attributed to the speaker and the event. Neither organization has expressed a view on Reign, and neither is a reference for it.

    What 3.0 changed

    The engine will faithfully record what the agent did. It has no opinion on whether it should have.

    Version 3.0 shipped MCP integration and agentic adhoc subprocesses. An agent can now invoke a process and determine its own steps at runtime, from a prompt and the business context. That is a capability of the engine, and it changes what a process instance is: an adhoc subprocess does not declare its steps in advance, so the record of what ran is no longer the same thing as a record of what was authorized.

    Where the boundary goes
    Reign Gateway sits on the model path rather than inside the engine, which is the one place a policy can cover every agent step at once. For each call: the identity that made it, the policy that applied, the decision taken, the model that answered and the time it happened — written where the work happened rather than reconstructed afterwards.
    The part worth being precise about. Reign governs the model calls an agent makes. It does not make an agent’s judgment sound, and it does not turn an unapproved model into an approved one. It means a reviewer can reconstruct what an agent asked for, what it was allowed, and what came back, against the process instance it touched. This is Reign Gateway, and it is available today. Reign Assurance — requirements turned into checks that run against the work, with the evidence prepared for a reviewer — is the other half of that tier and is in co-design development rather than shipping. Both are optional and priced separately. How the boundary works → · Where Assurance stands → · What shipped in 3.0 →
    Deployment

    Two shapes are available, and both are single-tenant.

    Runs on the stack you already have. The instance is provisioned for one customer and serves that customer only, wherever it runs.

    ModelStatusWhat it is
    Dedicated instance Available today A single-tenant instance in infrastructure iTmethods operates, connected securely to your estate. The faster start and the lower entry point.
    Customer cloud Available today The same single-tenant instance deployed and operated inside your own cloud account on AWS or Azure. The account is yours and the billing relationship with the provider is yours. Google Cloud is planned for 2027.
    Air-gapped In development No external network egress, for the most constrained environments. Not available, not being sold, and we are not offering a date.
    Sovereign In development Not available, not being sold, and we are not offering a date.

    There is no multi-tenant or shared option, and one is not on a roadmap. Deployment models in full →

    Shared responsibility

    What we run, what you run.

    Written down before anything is deployed. The layers in the figure at the top of this page, stated as obligations rather than as a diagram.

    WhoWhat they hold
    Reign Ops Operate the engine inside your authorization boundary. Enforce your identity provider at the edge. Automated patching on a cadence matched to upstream releases and scheduled through your change process. Monitoring, alerting, backup and a restore that has been exercised. Answer the pager, with a named engineer and a current runbook.
    Customer Your BPMN and DMN models, your decision tables and your REST integrations. Which processes are in scope and which are not. What a finding means and in what order it gets addressed. The approval on any change to the estate.
    Reign Gateway, if taken Identity, policy and a record on the model path for agent steps inside a process. Available today. Optional, priced separately, and absent by default.
    Reign Assurance, if taken The requirements those agent steps have to satisfy, turned into checks that run against the work, and the evidence a reviewer can follow. In co-design development, not shipping, and not sold. Nothing on this page depends on it.
    The project Fluxnova itself is maintained by the FINOS community under Apache 2.0. We operate a distribution of it; we do not own it, and nothing here makes the engine ours.

    Support scope and service levels are documented per engagement and available under non-disclosure rather than asserted here. Scope is agreed per engagement rather than assumed to be the whole estate.

    Before the scoping call

    The questions that arrive every time.

    What is Fluxnova?
    A FINOS community fork of Camunda 7 Community Edition, launched in October 2025 by a group of global banks and asset managers. Apache 2.0, BPMN and DMN, hosted under the Linux Foundation.
    Is it actually maintained?
    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.
    Are my Camunda 7 processes compatible?
    Yes. Fluxnova maintains backward compatibility with Camunda 7 BPMN 2.0 and DMN models. Existing process definitions, decision tables and REST integrations move directly. The benchmark above measured zero model changes on the move.
    What changed in 3.0?
    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 personal data, a plugin ecosystem, MCP integration and agentic adhoc subprocesses. The full breakdown →
    We are staying on Camunda for now. Is that a conversation?
    Yes, and it is a common one. iTmethods operates and supports Camunda 7 and Camunda 8 as well, and will move you to Fluxnova whenever you decide rather than on a vendor’s deadline. Managed Camunda →
    What is the support model?
    Support scope and service levels are documented per engagement and available under non-disclosure. Attestation status and the standard pack for procurement are released the same way rather than asserted on a web page. Security and trust →
    SOC 2 Type II on Reign Ops FINOS member Linux Foundation, Silver member
    Fluxnova is a FINOS project hosted under the Linux Foundation. iTmethods is a member of both. The engine is Apache 2.0 and is not licensed from us.
    Next step

    Tell us where Camunda and Fluxnova run today.

    Which edition or version you are on, roughly how many process definitions are in production, and what is forcing the question. We will come back with what the work actually involves, what we would take on first, and which part of the estate we would leave where it is.
