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

The engine, the UI, the editor and all the plugins stay Apache 2.0. No limits, no phone-home, and the LTS image gets a year of fixes whether you pay or not. It is an LTS release, so tell me where the migration hurts. github.com/kestra-io/ke...

At @kestra.io, we have raised 25M$ in a Series A led by RTP Global. Proud moment, but what gets me more excited is what it opens up. We're working hard on Kestra 2.0 🧵 kestra.io/blogs/kestra...
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...
Infrastructure automation doesn’t break because of tools. It breaks between them. Kestra orchestrates infra workflows across: Argo CD · Cloudflare · MAAS · KVM · NetBox · Nutanix GitOps → DNS → inventory → compute in one platform kestra.io/blogs/infra-...
COBOL is trending again. Takes are predictable: “rewrite it” … “AI will solve it.” Hot take: COBOL isn’t the problem. Claude isn’t the answer. Un-orchestrated systems are. AI can help. Orchestration makes it safe. We ran COBOL + Claude in Kestra 👇 🎥 youtu.be/_SQWQoaCkLM

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-...
“Sleep is not a synchronization primitive.” 😅 We’re featured on @foojay.io 🎉 sharing how we deal with flaky tests at Kestra: 6,000+ tests async workflows distributed queues CI you can actually trust You won’t kill all flakes. Separate signal from noise. Ship anyway. foojay.io/today/flaky-...
If you missed it, Kestra 1.2 brings major improvements across workflow orchestration: Assets for managing external resources, templated blueprints for reusability, stronger execution controls, and a redesigned execution overview. Dive in: youtu.be/k_iOLFYyiuM

ELT or ETL? ETL transforms before loading, so what lands is already clean and compliant. ELT loads raw first, then transforms in the warehouse, which is faster and more flexible at cloud scale. Kestra orchestrates either way: youtu.be/VxOmetLBTxE
SaaS is convenient, but control is non-negotiable. 🛡️ We built Kestra to run anywhere, Cloud, On-Prem, or Air-gapped, because we believe you should own your Orchestrator, not just rent it. The future of tooling is about sovereignty and choice. platformengineering.com/features/ret...
With our Mail Trigger, you can automate workflows the moment an email arrives, react to alerts, batch summaries, turn customer emails into tickets, or let AI highlight what matters. quick demo: youtu.be/Kz1w40TbNjQ
