CraftConf: Surviving the hyperautomation low code bubbl
The document discusses challenges in automating bank account opening due to fragmented local automations and a lack of end-to-end visibility, flexibility, and integration. It highlights the role of Camunda's open platform in improving automation processes, enhancing communication between business and development, and supporting diverse use cases. The importance of reducing cognitive load and enabling teams to focus on business value through decentralized microservices is also emphasized.
