Orkes
Durable orchestration for AI agents and workflows.
About
Orkes is the managed enterprise platform for Conductor, the open-source workflow engine born at Netflix and now maintained by Orkes. It provides durable execution for long-running processes: persisted state, retries, timeouts, human-in-the-loop approvals, and full audit history.
For AI, Orkes positions Conductor as the orchestration layer that moves agents from demos to production, with native integrations to 14+ LLM providers, MCP tool calling, function calling, vector DB support for RAG, and Agentspan, a developer-facing agent runtime. The company raised a $60M Series B in 2026, bringing total funding to about $98.6M.
