Kestra

Open source workflow orchestration platform

Overview

Kestra is a Paris-based software company and open-source orchestration platform redefining how organizations automate and govern complex workflows across data, infrastructure, and application processes. The platform brings modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and event-driven principles to workflow automation, enabling engineers and business teams alike to design, schedule, and monitor both scheduled and real-time workflows with a declarative YAML interface or intuitive UI.

By unifying data pipelines, microservice processes, and infrastructure tasks into a single scalable ecosystem, Kestra simplifies end-to-end automation—from ETL and data engineering to ML/AI workflows and CI/CD orchestration. With extensive plugin support, API-first design, and language-agnostic execution, Kestra empowers teams to build reliable, observable, and production-ready workflows that can run on any infrastructure, whether cloud, on-premise, or hybrid.

With a focus on flexibility, collaboration, and developer productivity, Kestra aims to replace fragmented tooling with a unified orchestration layer that accelerates time-to-value, improves operational visibility, and enables organizations to scale mission-critical automation with confidence.
