    Kestra

    Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestrator that simplifies data operations and improves collaboration between engineers and business users. By bringing Infrastructure as Code best practices to data pipelines, Kestra allows you to build reliable workflows and manage them with confidence. Thanks to the declarative YAML interface for defining orchestration logic, everyone who benefits from analytics can participate in the data pipeline creation process. The UI automatically adjusts the YAML definition any time you make changes to a workflow from the UI or via an API call. Therefore, the orchestration logic is defined declaratively in code, even if some workflow components are modified in other ways.

    The Autonomous Data Engine
    There is a consistent “buzz” today about how leading companies are harnessing big data for competitive advantage. Your organization is striving to become one of those market-leading companies. However, the reality is that over 80% of big data projects fail to deploy to production because project implementation is a complex, resource-intensive effort that takes months or even years. The technology is complicated, and the people who have the necessary skills are either extremely expensive or impossible to find. Automates the complete data workflow from source to consumption. Automates migration of data and workloads from legacy Data Warehouse systems to big data platforms. Automates orchestration and management of complex data pipelines in production. Alternative approaches such as stitching together multiple point solutions or custom development are expensive, inflexible, time-consuming and require specialized skills to assemble and maintain.
