Kestra 2.0 is out today, and most of the engine is new. I started it at night in 2019 because Airflow kept losing our tasks to its own scheduler. Four years and four billion executions later, here is what changed. kestra.io/two-zero

Also gone: two engine implementations. Every bug used to be fixed twice. 2.0 has one executor, one scheduler, one worker, and you pick the queue and the repository separately. The Kafka Streams engine is deleted and I am not sad about it.

In 1.x every worker needed a connection to the central database. That decided where you were allowed to run tasks. Now a controller sits in between. Workers hold no credentials and open one outbound gRPC connection with mTLS. Nothing connects in.

So the control plane stays where you want it and workers run where the data is: another VPC, on-prem, an air-gapped network, a homelab behind NAT. That came from a factory floor, a bank, and a hospital, all fighting the old design.

Orchestration is broken. We're fixing it. $25M Series A. Led by @RTPGlobal. 2B+ workflows. 26K GitHub stars. Apple, Toyota, JPMorgan. Kestra 2.0 + Kestra Cloud are next. We are the Orchestration Control Plane of the AI Era kestra.io/blogs/kestra...

VMware is everywhere when you need to virtualize. They’re great at it. But orchestration is still stuck in vRA, Aria, or scripts, mostly because there hasn’t been a clean alternative. What if VMware operations were just workflows? 👉 kestra.io/blogs/contro...

kestra.ioOrchestrate VMware Without the Legacy Automation Layer | KestraKestra’s VMware plugin brings native support for vSphere, vCenter, and ESXi—automating VM lifecycle management, snapshots, templates, and event-based triggers.

Fire-and-forget automation is fine… until you’re on call. This post shows how Kestra Assets turns infra workflows into a live catalog with lineage: VMs, IPs, certs, users, licenses, snapshots, plus history + dependencies from execution. 👉 kestra.io/blogs/assets...

The hardest part of operating data & infrastructure isn’t running workflows, it’s knowing what they touch, what they produce, and what breaks when something changes. That’s why we built Kestra Assets: a governed, language-agnostic catalog with automatic lineage. kestra.io/blogs/hello-...
