Imagine you're running a restaurant. You have a team of chefs, waiters, and dishwashers, each with their own tasks to complete. To ensure that your restaurant runs smoothly, you need a way to coordinate everyone's work. This is where a workflow orchestration system comes in. It is like a maestro conducting an orchestra. It takes a series of steps, or tasks, and makes sure they are completed in the right order and at the right time. This can help to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and free up your team to focus on more important work.

With Orkes, you can easily create, execute, and monitor workflows, even if they involve multiple microservices or systems. Orkes itself is a cloud-hosted version of Netflix Conductor, developed and maintained by the same team that created Netflix Conductor.

In this week's talk, Amit and Rinat talk with Boney Sekh & Dilip Lukose, founders of Orkes.
