Too few sampled comments (12) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Camunda's pages as examples of BPMN process automation and orchestration, including the Camunda Modeler, DMN and microservices orchestration posts. The comments mention the product rather than evaluating the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 12 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The underlying concept would be akin to Business Process Modelling. Using something like https://camunda.com [0], you can execute a business process model. Such a model can include sending emails, waiting for responses, human action, custom API requests, etc. Camunda is not no-code, but it comes close to what you imagine. I suspect that when the existing API landscape of a company needs to be used for workflows, cod…

HN discussionI really like the concept, and think that visual programming is a great way to help understand data flows (I'm a big Node RED fan). I wouldn't make the claim that this is usable by business managers; if one of the goals of this tool is to make it business-focused then you might want to add an abstraction and front-end it with BPMN as that's the general language understood by most folks familiar with process mapping.…

HN discussionI worked on a product that used BPMN where users could define processes. The company I worked for used Java for decades already. Clients of the product were banks. The people I worked with were not specifically HN audience. Rather in the Java bubble in Germany-Austria-Switzerland which is also surprisingly a small world. If BPMN is not really needed, then I would also not use it nowadays. It increases complexity, an…

HN discussionI've been using BPMN to unpick what businesses are doing and document it. It's been great to check assumptions like "We need software to do X in this way" -- which on inspection doesn't match with what needs to be done, but what has been done. I've done the diagrams using the free Camunda Modeler [1], and they have an online version [2]. 1. https://camunda.com/download/modeler/ 2. https://bpmn.io/

on “YUML – Easy Embeddable Diagrams”You might be interested in looking into Camunda, which does similar things. It's very quick and easy to set up detailed process flows which model and track multi-step transactions via microservices. It also has a great visual interface using BPMN for understanding where your processes are in a flow. I don't see anything like that in Temporal. https://camunda.com/why-camunda/ Incidentally, an iteration of Camunda cal…

on “Show HN: I Built a Visual Workflow Automation Platform – FlowRipple”Nice! I didn't know of DMN ( https://camunda.com/dmn/ ). Are there any detailed literature (articles/books/etc. on this and related decision techniques) that you can point us to ? PS: I had posted another related article which you might find interesting - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38822320

on “Ask HN: Tracking a Business Process?”I don't know much about BPML but I know Camunda ( https://camunda.com/ ) does stuff in BPMN. Sorry if that is not the same.
