Overview
Kestra is an open-source, API-first workflow orchestration platform designed to simplify complex data and infrastructure pipelines. Operating on a declarative 'Everything-as-Code' model via YAML, it allows software engineers, data engineers, and platform engineers to build, govern, and monitor workflows seamlessly from a unified user interface. Kestra distinguishes itself with an agnostic approach to languages and infrastructure, offering a robust embedded Code Editor, AI assistance, and seamless Infrastructure as Code integration via its native Terraform Provider. The platform enables both scheduled tasks and event-based triggers with millisecond latency, removing the traditional bottlenecks of older batch-processing orchestrators. Trusted by industry leaders with over 1 billion workflows executed, Kestra provides a free, highly scalable open-source Core, alongside managed Cloud and Enterprise editions featuring advanced security, governance, and multi-tenant capabilities. By eliminating vendor lock-in and unifying the orchestration stack, Kestra empowers teams to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure maintenance.
