Announcing Conductor Community Repository

Netflix and Orkes are co-managing a new community contribution repository for Conductor, an open-source workflow orchestration engine developed by Netflix. Conductor is widely used at Netflix to manage workflows at scale, and its extensible design allows for easy integration of new features without altering the core system. Since its open-sourcing, Conductor has seen significant community engagement, leading to contributions such as support for Postgres and MySQL backends, Elasticsearch 7, AMQP and NATS queues, GRPC, Azure blob stores, and more. The volume of contributions has outpaced the integration capabilities of the core team, prompting the creation of this new repository to better manage and integrate community contributions. Partnering with Orkes will facilitate timely code reviews and releases, maintaining Conductor's usability while fostering a more autonomous community involvement. The new structure ensures continuity for users with no changes to installation or updates, aiming to enhance Conductor's standing as a leading open-source orchestration engine.
