Led by CEO Jeu George, co-CTOs Viren Baraiya and Boney Sekh and CPO Dilip Lukose, Orkes is a microservices and workflow orchestration platform for companies to build and scale complex software applications with high reliability. The company provides an enterprise-grade, cloud-hosted version of the Netflix Conductor open-source platform used by Fortune 100 companies and international corporations.
Orkes takes the operational complexities out of Conductor deployments by offering a managed cloud service with added enterprise features so developers can focus on building business logic and architecting complex applications that are easy to manage and troubleshoot. Orkes Cloud is now available for AWS with Google Cloud Platform and Azure on the roadmap.
The company is also launching play.orkes.io, a sandbox for developers to try, learn and test and experience the power of Conductor before setting it up in production.
