Conductor OSS

Conductor is a platform for building microservices-based applications with workflow orchestration

Originally built at Netflix, Conductor is an open source platform for building and scaling workflow based applications.

Conductor lets you build applications with:

SAGA pattern
Microservices orchestration
Agentic workflows by orchestrating language models
Durable code execution

Building and scaling applications with Conductor

Maintaining state (e.g. order processing, payment workflow, customer onboarding) in an application requires maintaining state across different services. This becomes especially challenging when you need to guarantee process completion despite temporary or permanent service failures. Conductor solves this by offloading state management, failure handling, and other resiliency concerns to the Conductor server Conductor lets you write stateless code in any programming language and framework of your choice, and orchestrate them using workflows that are defined in Conductor.

Conductor workflows are simple JSON based code that follows the same structure as a program with sub-routines (sub-workflows), branches, loops and parallel execution.

Workflow tasks can either be external microservices (exposed over HTTP or gRPC), or service workers built using lightweight Conductor SDKs in your preferred language.
