Conductor

Open source workflow engine that persists durable workflows for microservices and AI agents, with workers written in several languages.

Conductor is an open source workflow engine written in Java. It runs as a server with a built-in web UI and exposes REST and gRPC endpoints for workflow and task operations. The project’s configurations pair a database such as Redis, Postgres or MySQL with Elasticsearch as the search index. Workers can be written in Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, C#, Ruby or Rust.

Worth knowing

The project was created at Netflix, and the original Netflix repository is archived. The current repository continues it and is maintained by Orkes Inc., which also offers a hosted version of Conductor.
