Orkes Conductor

Orkes Conductor is a fully compatible version of Netflix Conductor with Orkes certified stack.

What is the community edition - OR how is it different from Netflix Conductor?

At Orkes we continue to maintain the Netflix Conductor, and while running Conductor at scale across multiple clouds (including on-prem) we have put together a stack that we leverage for our own cloud offering that is easy to maintain and operate.

As a way to contribute back to community, we are open sourcing the core stack we run our cloud offering to the community that makes it easy to run Netflix Conductor. This is a "certified" build of Netflix Conductor that is officially supported by Orkes.

Stack

1. Redis is the primary store for running workflows.
2. Postgres for storing completed workflows and indexing enabling full text search.
3. Orkes-Queues - Redis-based queues that improve upon dyno-queues and providers higher performance and are built from the ground up to support Redis standalone and cluster mode

Dependency Versions

Getting Started

Docker

Docker is the easiest way to run Conductor. Each release is published as orkesio/orkes-conductor-community docker images.

Fully self-contained standalone server with all the dependencies

Container images are useful for local development and testing.

Note: Self-contained docker image shouldn't be used in the production environment.

Simple self-contained script to launch the docker image

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/orkes-io/orkes-conductor-community/main/scripts/run_local.sh | sh

Using docker run manually (Provides more control)

# Create volumes for persistent stores
# Used to create a persistent volume that will preserve the 
docker volume create postgres
docker volume create redis

docker run --init -p 8080:8080 -p 1234:5000 --mount source=redis,target=/redis \
--mount source=postgres,target=/pgdata orkesio/orkes-conductor-community-standalone:latest

Navigate to http://localhost:1234 once the container starts to launch UI.

Server + UI Docker

docker pull orkesio/orkes-conductor-community:latest

Note: To use a specific version of Conductor, replace latest with the release version. e.g.

docker pull orkesio/orkes-conductor-community:latest
