Introducing Candid Conversations: Exploring the Future of Workflow Orchestration and AI

We're excited to introduce our new video series, Candid Conversations, where we dive into open and honest discussions about the latest trends in workflow orchestration, AI, and how technology is reshaping the way we build and manage modern applications. In each episode, we'll bring in experts, thought leaders, and practitioners to share the insights, experiences, and challenges they face in the evolving landscape of automation and intelligent orchestration.

Why Candid Conversations?

In today's fast-paced digital world, it's easy to get caught up in official statements, polished presentations, and scripted content. Candid Conversations is all about stripping away these formalities and having unfiltered discussions about the topics that matter most to you. Our goal is to create a space to explore the complexities of technology in a way that's both informative and engaging.

What to Expect in This Series

The first episode sets the tone with a conversation on workflow engines—what they are, why they matter, and how they’ve evolved over time. We discuss the challenges faced by developers when building distributed systems and how tools like Conductor are simplifying the orchestration of tasks across systems, AI agents, and even humans. Our guest, Viren Baraiya (Orkes CTO), shares insights into how Conductor's capabilities make developers more productive by taking care of the heavy lifting of state management and failure handling.

In future episodes, we'll dive deeper into some of the most pressing questions facing the industry:

• Agentic Workflows: What are they, and why are they becoming a critical piece of modern AI implementations? We'll explore how AI agents and generative models are transforming the way we think about automation.
• AI, Microservices, and Human-in-the-Loop Systems: We'll discuss the convergence of AI technologies, microservices architecture, and human involvement in decision-making processes, especially in high-stakes environments like finance and healthcare.
• The Challenges of AI Model Training and Inference: We'll take a closer look at the complexities of training AI models, the role of workflow engines in managing these processes, and how the right tools can make a significant impact on performance and scalability.
• Building the Future of Intelligent Orchestration: As we continue to evolve beyond traditional workflows, we'll talk about what it means to create a platform that not only orchestrates tasks but also incorporates AI-driven decision-making and generative AI capabilities.

Each episode of Candid Conversations will journey into the heart of the issues that developers, engineers, and tech leaders face as they navigate the frontiers of AI and automation.

Stay tuned for more engaging discussions, and don't miss out on the chance to hear directly from the people who are shaping the future of technology.
