Conductor: Build Resilient, Event‑Driven Workflows at Scale
From the repo · “Conductor is an event driven agentic workflow engine providing durable and highly resilient execution engine for applications and AI Agents”
Build and manage workflows that can handle tasks in the background.
"A founder of a new e-commerce startup wants to automatically fulfill orders and send shipping updates to customers. They create a Conductor workflow that connects to their Stripe account, Notion database, and email service, and set it up to run whenever a new order is placed. The workflow then adds the customer to the Notion database and sends a shipping update to their email. After a few weeks, the founder notices the automation is reliable and saves them a significant amount of time."
