Conductor

Originally built at Netflix to orchestrate microservices powering 230 million subscribers and now trusted in production at Tesla, LinkedIn, and J.P. Morgan, Conductor is the most battle-tested open-source workflow engine available — with 32,000 GitHub stars and horizontal scalability to billions of executions. The architecture cleanly separates orchestration from business logic: workflows are defined in declarative JSON while workers execute tasks in any of seven supported languages (Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, Rust) with zero framework constraints. Durable execution persists every state transition, enabling automatic retries, configurable timeouts, crash recovery, and instant replay from any failure point without re-executing completed tasks. Native AI agent orchestration supports 14+ LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, Cohere, HuggingFace, Ollama), MCP tool calling, function calling, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and vector database integration (Pinecone, pgvector, MongoDB Atlas) for RAG pipelines. Deploy with your choice of five persistence backends (PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, Cassandra, SQLite), six message brokers, and Elasticsearch or OpenSearch for workflow indexing — all configurable via Docker Compose files included in the repository. The built-in web UI provides workflow visualization, execution monitoring, task queue inspection, and manual intervention controls. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
