aid: conductor-oss
name: Conductor OSS
description: Conductor OSS is the Netflix-founded, Orkes-stewarded open source workflow and agentic AI orchestration platform.
  It provides a durable, event-driven workflow engine for coordinating microservices, long-running tasks, human approvals,
  and LLM-powered agents across any language or cloud, with first class support for HTTP, gRPC, Kafka, AMQP, SQS, and MCP-based
  tool calling.
