About Kestra

Kestra is an open-source event-driven orchestration platform that lets you define workflows in YAML and run them on a schedule or trigger them from external events. It handles everything from simple cron jobs to multi-step data pipelines with branching, retries, and error handling built in. The platform includes a web UI for monitoring executions, viewing logs, and managing flow versions.

Workflows are built using a library of over 300 reusable plugins for databases, cloud services, messaging systems, and APIs. Kestra runs on any infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, or bare metal) and integrates with tools like Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, and Slack. It supports parallel task execution, dynamic task generation, and subflow composition for modular designs.

Kestra is free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license, with a cloud-hosted enterprise edition available. It was created by the French company Kestra Technologies and is used by organizations like Airbus and Leroy Merlin for data engineering and IT automation.
