What is Conductor?

Conductor is a workflow orchestration engine that runs in the cloud. You can find more details about Conductor at the main repository of Netflix Conductor

What is this repository?

Conductor is an extensible platform that allows users to bring in their own persistence, queues, integrations eventing systems such as SQS, NATS, AMQP etc.

The core conductor project contains implementations tested and supported by Netflix, while this repository will contain all the modules contributed by community.

Who is responsible for maintaining this repository?

Netflix in collaboration with the team at Orkes (https://orkes.io/) will continue to maintain this repository.

Repository Structure and Published Artifcats

Binaries are available from Netflix OSS Maven repository, or the Maven Central Repository.

FAQ

Why separate repository?

The number of contributions, especially newer implementations of the core contracts in Conductor has increased over the past few years. There is interest in the community to contribute more implementations. To streamline the support and release of the existing community-contributed implementations and future ones, we are creating a new repository dedicated to hosting just contributions. Conductor users who wish to use a contributed module will have a dedicated place to ask questions directly to fellow members of the community.

Having a separate repository will allow us to scale the contributions and also ensure we are able to review and merge PRs in a timely fashion.

How often builds are published?

Similar to core Conductor the builds are published often with each major release. Release numbers are kept in sync with main Conductor releases, which removes the need for a version compatibility matrix.

Does it change how I build Conductor or use the Conductor binaries? (Do I need to pull additional dependency in my builds going forward?)

Conductor (https://github.com/Netflix/conductor) no longer pulls in all the dependencies from this repository as part of the conductor-server build. If you plan to use the modules from this repository, please build community-server which pulls in all the dependencies.
