About Kestra:

Kestra is theuniversal orchestration platform — open source, declarative, and designed to orchestrate everything: data pipelines, IT automation, business workflows, and AI / agentic systems.

Kestra is trusted byover 10,000 organizations worldwide, includinglarge financial institutions, global data platforms, and industrial groups such asJPMorgan Chase,Bloomberg,FILA, andCrédit Agricole, to orchestratemission-critical workloads at scale, where reliability, transparency, and control are non-negotiable.

Backed by leaders fromDatadog, dbt Labs, Hugging Face, and Algolia, Kestra is deployed in demanding production environments across data, infrastructure, and operational systems.

Theopen-source project is the foundation of everything we do. Withclose to 30,000 GitHub stars, hundreds of contributors, and a fast-growing global community, Kestra is built in the open — shaped by real-world usage, not marketing narratives.
