Everything you need to build workflows as code in Conductor

The post demonstrates how to build and operate a travel-expense approval workflow entirely in code using Orkes Conductor, illustrated with the Python SDK but applicable to SDKs for several other languages. The workflow validates an expense, automatically approves amounts below $100, routes higher amounts to a manager, then updates accounting records and notifies the employee in parallel after approval. It explains how Conductor separates workflow control flow, such as switching, forking, and joining tasks, from business logic implemented in workers, while allowing task definitions to specify timeouts and retry policies. The tutorial also covers registering and executing workflows, using either Orkes Developer Edition or a local Conductor server, monitoring execution details in the UI, retrying failed tasks through the CLI, scheduling runs with cron expressions, and creating new workflow versions when business rules change so in-progress executions remain unaffected.
