Conductor is a platform originally developed at Netflix to orchestrate workflows that span across applications or microservices.

* Orchestration Platform for building stateful applications without the overhead of managing a state machine
* Enables development of highly resilient and scalable distributed systems with built-in features that empower rapid development of business applications
* Used for a wide range of use cases such as - business process automations, data pipelines, CI/CD pipelines, order management workflows etc.
* Run 100s to millions of workflows per day - scales seamlessly for a wide range of applications

* Run 100s to millions of workflows per day that scales seamlessly for a wide range of applications
* Conductor is an open-source, **Apache 2.0** licensed workflow orchestration framework
* Build workflows using many popular languages with SDKs

## Conductor Overview

* With conductor - we create orchestration flows called as [Workflows](getting-started/concepts/workflows)
* Workflow consists of [tasks](getting-started/concepts/tasks-and-workers) and [operators](getting-started/concepts/operators)
* Tasks can be System managed (no-code deployment) or your [custom code](how-tos/Workers/write-workers)
* The Workflow consists of [tasks](getting-started/concepts/tasks-and-workers) and [operators](getting-started/concepts/operators)
* Tasks can be system managed (no-code deployment) or your [custom code](how-tos/Workers/write-workers)
* Tasks are managed by persistent task queues transparent to users
* Custom code tasks can be written in any language and can connect to a workflow using the [client SDKs](how-tos/SDKs)
* Tasks can be run like a programming language - [sub workflows](docs/reference-docs/sub-workflow-task), step-by-step, [parallel tasks](reference-docs/fork-task), [conditional tasks](reference-docs/switch-task), [dynamic tasks](reference-docs/dynamic-fork-task) etc. [are supported](reference-docs)
* Tasks can be run like a programming language, i.e., [sub workflows](docs/reference-docs/sub-workflow-task), step-by-step, [parallel tasks](reference-docs/fork-task), [conditional tasks](reference-docs/switch-task), [dynamic tasks](reference-docs/dynamic-fork-task), etc. [are supported](reference-docs)
