Ever wondered about the practical implications of using optimistic locking in a process engine like Camunda 7? Explore the impacts on process execution and discover the intriguing dynamics, especially when messages arrive concurrently. Also, asynchronous continuations play a role, sometimes alleviating issues, while in other scenarios, they can (perhaps surprisingly) worsen the situation.

While Camunda covers this topic in the documentation, I personally only got a full grasp on asynchronous continuations after playing around with them in different scenarios. This is why I want to highlight some insights on the impact they can have on processes that might not be completely clear just by reading the documentation.
