What it does

Conductor provides durable and highly resilient execution for applications and AI agents through an event-driven workflow engine.

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/conductor-oss/conductor.git && cd conductor

When to use it

•When building a microservices-based application that requires reliable workflow execution
•When integrating AI agents into a larger application workflow
•When needing to ensure fault-tolerant execution of critical application tasks

Quick start

1Build the Conductor server using the command './gradlew build'
2Start the Conductor server with './gradlew bootRun'
3Access the Conductor UI at http://localhost:8080
4Create a new workflow using the Conductor API or UI, referencing the examples in the 'examples/' directory
5Configure workflow tasks and transitions using the Conductor workflow DSL, as shown in the 'workflow_defs/' directory

Ready-to-paste prompt

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"my_workflow","description":"example workflow","tasks":[{"name":"task1","taskReferenceName":"task1","type":"SIMPLE"}]}' http://localhost:8080/api/metadata/workflow

Heads up: Conductor requires Java 11 or later to run, and the 'gradle' build tool must be installed and configured on the system before building and running the Conductor server
