Orkes Select

You're running Conductor in production. Now run it without the ops burden.

Orkes Select gives engineering teams managed infrastructure to stop running infrastructure and start shipping.

From $25,000/year: two clusters, enterprise security, human tasks, AI agent support, and SLA-backed support. No per-unit caps.

What is Orkes Select?

Most teams running Conductor OSS hit the same wall: workflows run, but operating the platform—scaling, security, upgrades, and support—quickly becomes a full-time job.

Orkes closes that gap with a fully managed Conductor experience, backed by the team behind Conductor, giving you reliability, expert support, and a trusted path to scale without maintaining infrastructure, forks, or custom patches yourself.

Orkes Select is for you if:

  • Your workload fits within under 2GB of live workflow state and under 200 tasks/sec.
  • You want Orkes to manage operations, security, and uptime.
  • You want access to Orkes-exclusive capabilities including seamless orchestration of agents and workflows, and secure multi-team collaboration with built-in governance and access controls.
  • You value 99.9% SLA (99.99% with Multi-Region), SLA-backed support, and access to Conductor experts.

Not sure where you fall? Apply anyway. We'll route you to the right conversation.

How it works

From OSS to production-ready in days, not months

1

Apply

Fill out the enrollment form. We review eligibility and match you with an Orkes Solutions Architect who has done this migration before. You'll hear back within one business day.

2

Migration scoping call

One call with your Solutions Architect to map your existing Conductor workflows, workers, and infrastructure to Orkes. You'll leave with a clear migration plan, a defined go-live date, and answers to every technical question you have.

3

Go live on Orkes Select

Your workflows run on managed Orkes infrastructure. No more patching, monitoring, or scaling worker nodes yourself. Your team gets back the engineering hours they were spending on maintenance.

4

Grow on your terms

Orkes Select is sized for where you are today. When your workloads scale past the enforced soft limits — more environments, higher throughput, enterprise requirements — there's a defined upgrade path.

What our users say

"Orkes has been instrumental in increasing developer agility, creating cost efficiencies, and building highly reliable and secure applications. We’re so impressed with the results that we are migrating more workflows from other platforms to Orkes and initiating all flows on Orkes."

Lead Architect, Foxtel

"We didn’t want data management; we wanted a powerful microservice orchestration engine. After a careful analysis, Normalyze chose Conductor delivered by Orkes Cloud."

Ravi Ithal,
Ravi Ithal,
Founder & CTO, Normalyze

"I can’t stress enough how much Orkes Cloud has helped us over the past year to get our microservices efforts off the ground and accelerate this process. And our development teams love Orkes because they can quickly make the microservices they need. Our development teams can automate anything they want. It’s very empowering,"

Andy French,
Andy French,
AVP of Platform Automation, United Wholesale Mortgage

"One of the things that really attracted me to Orkes Conductor is that the infrastructure is already in place. As a CTO, I want my team to build very specific tasks and applications rather than spend the time building infrastructure, which Orkes Conductor allows them to do."

FAQs

What's included in the cluster?

Orkes Select includes one production cluster and one development cluster, SSO and RBAC, audit logs, SOC 2 compliance, AI and Prompt Studio access, scheduled executions, webhooks, and full API and SDK support.

Is there a scale limit?

Yes, by design. Orkes Select clusters are sized for Startup, Midmarket, and smaller Enterprise workloads. They are not architected for high enterprise-scale throughput. If you need multi-cluster deployments, dedicated infrastructure, or custom SLA tiers, you'll outgrow Orkes Select quickly - and we'll move you to the right tier before that becomes a problem.

What support do I get with Orkes Select?

Orkes Select includes enterprise SLA-backed support and access to your Solutions Architect through onboarding. This is not community forums and GitHub issues.

Will there be any downtime during migration?

No. Orkes runs parallel to your existing setup during migration. You validate everything before cutting over. There is no forced downtime window.

What does the migration actually involve?

For most teams, migration means pointing your workers at a new Orkes endpoint, validating workflow execution, and decommissioning your self-managed cluster. Your Solutions Architect will scope the specifics on the first call. Most teams are live within a week.

What cloud providers do you support?

AWS, Azure, and GCP. Orkes Select is hosted and managed by Orkes on your cloud of choice.

What happens after the first year?

Orkes Select is a 12-month entry program. At renewal, your Technical Account Manager will review your actual usage and workload growth and recommend the right next step - whether that's renewing Orkes Select or moving to a full Orkes plan.
