Conductor was built at Netflix to power its legendary growth and was open-sourced in 2016. Since then, it has seen widespread adoption across the industry, with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500s using it to run mission-critical workflows. Its usage spans a broad set of industries, including financial services, shipping and logistics, telecommunications, software, and healthcare.

Since its inception, the founding team behind Conductor went on to build Orkes—an enterprise-grade cloud service that abstracts away the operational complexity of Conductor, enabling developers to focus on building reliable applications that scale effortlessly.

As AI adoption accelerates, Orkes has evolved into an agentic orchestration platform, enabling developers to build, deploy, and scale AI applications confidently in production. The platform supports complex workflows across AI agents, human-in-the-loop processes, and traditional microservices.

In 2026, Orkes raised $60 million in funding, reflecting strong momentum as developers increasingly rely on the platform to power production-grade AI and workflow systems.

Today, Orkes continues to expand its platform with capabilities such as human task orchestration, GenAI application development tools, and Agentspan—a durable runtime designed to orchestrate and manage AI agents at scale, bringing reliability, observability, and structure to increasingly complex, multi-agent workflows.
