Conductor is an open-source, durable workflow orchestration engine designed to manage distributed systems, microservices, and AI-driven applications at internet scale. Originally built at Netflix and actively maintained by Orkes and the open-source community, Conductor simplifies complex workflow management by handling retries, failures, state persistence, and long-running process execution automatically. The platform enables developers to orchestrate AI agents, APIs, human approvals, and microservices using flexible JSON-based workflows with dynamic runtime execution. Conductor supports durable execution, deterministic orchestration, workflow replayability, and horizontal scalability, making it suitable for enterprise-grade applications and mission-critical automation. It offers polyglot worker support across languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, Go, C#, Ruby, and Rust, allowing teams to integrate workflows into virtually any technology stack.

Features

  • Provides durable workflow execution with automatic retries, persistence, timeout handling, and crash recovery.
  • Supports orchestration of AI agents, LLMs, MCP tools, human approvals, and distributed microservices.
  • Enables dynamic workflows with runtime task generation, branching, loops, forks, and sub-workflows.
  • Offers replayable workflows that can restart from failures, rerun individual tasks, or resume execution instantly.
  • Supports polyglot workers across Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, and Rust environments.
  • Includes flexible deployment options with Docker support, multiple persistence backends, and scalable distributed architecture.
