Netflix Conductor: Open-source workflow orchestration engine
Workflows and orchestration are my jam -- that's what we're trying to simplify over at <a href="https://refinery.io" rel="nofollow">https://refinery.io</a><p>Conductor is a cool piece of tech, and it's a well-established player in a rapidly growing space for workflow engines.<p>I used to work at Uber and that company had microservice-hell for a while. They built the project Cadence[0] to alleviate that. It is similar to Conductor in many ways.<p>One project to watch out for is Argo[1] which is a CNCF-backed project.<p>There are also some attempts[2] to standardize the workflow spec.<p>Serverless adds a whole new can of worms to what orchestration engines have to manage, and I'm very curious to see how things evolve in the future. Kubernetes adds a whole dimension of complexity to the problem space, as well.<p>If anybody is interested in chatting about microservice hell or complex state machines for business logic, I'd be excited to chat. I'm always looking for more real world problems to help solve (as an early stage startup founder) and more exposure to what others are struggling with is helpful!<p>0: <a href="https://github.com/uber/cadence" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/uber/cadence</a><p>1: <a href="https://argoproj.github.io/argo/" rel="nofollow">https://argoproj.github.io/argo/</a><p>2: <a href="https://serverlessworkflow.github.io/" rel="nofollow">https://serverlessworkflow.github.io/</a>
