Automation tools often sideline developers, resulting in fragmented systems. Kestra is an open-source orchestration platform that bridges the gap with low-code UI, full-code API, Git sync, 600+ plugins, and remote execution—run tasks anywhere, in any language.
👋🏻 Hi Product Hunt makers,
I’m Emmanuel, CEO at Kestra—an open-source Orchestration platform to automate everything, everywhere, all at once! Today, we’re excited to introduce Kestra here for the first time!
❓💡 Why Kestra?
Most tools for automation either cater to non-technical users or lock developers into rigid ecosystems. At Kestra, we believe developers deserve a platform that doesn’t sacrifice flexibility for simplicity. We’ve built Kestra to bridge the gap, empowering all teams to orchestrate, automate, and work together.
⭐🤔 What Makes Kestra Special?
Declarative meets business logic: Define your workflows and scheduling in YAML and bring your business logic in any programming language (Python, Java, R, Ruby, ...)
Everything as code & from the UI: Low-Code, Full-Code, No-Code, start simple, scale complexity, you choose your path.
Remote execution anywhere: Run your tasks anywhere in local, on-premises, or in the cloud. Kestra’s remote execution capabilities ensure your workflows are scalable, portable, and not tied to a specific environment.
Designed for developers to work together: Kestra unifies teams. From data engineers managing pipelines to platform engineers optimizing infrastructure and even non-technical teams building automation workflows, Kestra fosters collaboration across your organization.
🛠️⚙️ Built to Automate and Orchestrate Everything
Data Pipelines: Orchestrate ETL workflows, pulling data from multiple sources, transforming it, and delivering data to your business intelligence tools.
Machine Learning Automation: Train, evaluate, and deploy models, integrating with your favorite ML tools and infrastructure.
DevOps Orchestration: Manage infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring in one centralized platform.
Event-Drive Processes: Automate processes triggered by real-time events, whether from APIs, file uploads, or message queues.
Multi-Cloud Operations: Manage workflows across AWS, GCP, Azure, or your private infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
❤️👩💻 Why Developers Love Kestra?
Here's what makes our community excited:
Community-Driven: Open source forever, with a growing ecosystem.
Proven at Scale: Orchestrating 20M+ workflows per month—and counting!

Thank you everyone 🙏
Hi Emmanuel! Kestra sounds like a game-changer for developers looking for flexibility in automation and orchestration. It's impressive how you've integrated both low-code and full-code options. How do you see Kestra evolving to support emerging technologies in automation? Looking forward to seeing how it grows!
It's incredible how robust and polished the UI feels for a relatively young product. It's hard enough just building out a reliable workflow execution system, but the fact that it has really useful monitoring and logging capabilities for troubleshooting executions goes a long way towards being able to adopt this in production environments. Congrats on the launch and I look forward to seeing what's next for Kestra!
Great work on launching Kestra! How does your low-code UI integrate with full-code API for seamless automation? Have you considered targeting any specific industries or use cases for this platform?
Congrats to the Kestra team. This is impressive to see how quickly your tool takes its place among the leaders in orchestration and integration.
Sup, have been using Kestra for a few weeks now, my use case goes around interacting with APIs, webhooks, and postgress db, loving it so far <3 and I've been recommending Kestra to coworkers and friends. Thanks team for making this open source, and thanks for being so responsive in the Slack channel as well, wish u great success with your launch here in ProductHunt :)
Love the idea of event-based orchestration to get "real-time feeling" ie sub 3 seconds synchronisations.
Moments like these remind us why hard work and vision matter. You are building something truly impactful. Congratulations!
Congrats on the launch, @emmanuel_darras @martin_pierre_roset @anna__geller @bart_kestra @loic_mathieu1 .
How do you handle performance or latency issues with remote execution across different setups?
Also, curious - what's the business model behind Kestra?
Congrats on the launch! Kestra looks like a game-changer for dev teams. How do you see it streamlining workflows and boosting productivity? Let me know!
Nice work on Kestra! I like how it bridges low-code simplicity with full-code flexibility, definitely worth exploring.
Congrats to the team! Kestra hits the sweet spot between low-code convenience and full-code flexibility! 🔥
Super interesting! Glad to see a modern open-source project in that space of orchestration.
Congrats on launching Kestra, Emmanuel! 🎉 A flexible, open-source orchestration platform that bridges the gap between simplicity and power is exactly what many developers need. The ability to define workflows in YAML, integrate business logic in any programming language, and execute tasks remotely across environments is a game-changer.
The 600+ plugins and multi-cloud capabilities make Kestra incredibly versatile for data pipelines, ML automation, DevOps, and more. Love that it’s community-driven and built for collaboration across technical and non-technical teams. Excited to see Kestra grow and empower developers to automate at scale! 🚀👏
This looks like an incredibly useful tool for automating countless mundane tasks. I especially love how you emphasize that people shouldn’t have to choose between systems designed exclusively for non-technical users and developer lock-in tools. The conceptual framework reminds me of how Flutterflow approached abstraction—starting with components developers are already familiar with, then building UI on top of that. It really feels like you’re bringing the best of both worlds into automation!
Congratulations on the launch! As a developer, I think I need this in my toolkit, I’ll give it a try sometimes later today and share my feedback with you!
