What is DBOS Conductor?

DBOS Conductor is a workflow control plane for applications built with DBOS Transact, an open-source library that provides durable workflows, queues, schedules, and recovery through state stored in PostgreSQL. While workflows execute within application workers, Conductor supports production operations by monitoring worker health, automatically recovering workflows from failed workers, enabling high availability and scaling, and providing centralized workflow and queue management. It offers dashboards and integrations for observability, alerting, auditing, troubleshooting, retention policies, and role-based access control, allowing teams to inspect workflow histories, manage executions, and export metrics to tools such as Datadog or Grafana. Conductor does not directly access PostgreSQL or permanently store workflow data, instead communicating with workers through secure outbound WebSocket connections; metadata-only mode and self-hosting are available for stricter privacy requirements. Although DBOS Transact can operate independently, the interview recommends Conductor for production deployments, particularly those using multiple workers.
