Indeed, a discussion on the pros and cons of Conductor on Hacker News, before Orkes came into being, highlighted some of the difficulties in implementing it in some environments, also pointing to the opportunity to fix that. “But the wider idea now is to help operationalize that, and help with the management of the scale on top of this.” Since organizations often work in hybrid cloud environments, and across multiple coding languages, the idea with Orkes is to provide a set of tools to help manage that “out of the box,” he added. The space is now at an inflection point and organizations are moving to a microservices architecture,” George said in an interview. “We built Conductor as a general purpose engine and we could see many companies starting to use it. The reason for returning to Conductor and building a set of tools to sit on top of it was down to what George said were very clear market signals. In 2021, the three reunited and were joined by Lukose (an alum of Microsoft Azure, where he’d worked with George), to start Orkes.

The first three worked together to build Conductor at Netflix, but then went their separate ways: George worked as a senior engineer at Uber Baraiya led engineering for Firebase at Google and Sekh headed up the payments for Robinhood. Orkes (pronounced “or-kes”, a shorted form of “orchestration”) was co-founded by CEO Jeu George, co-CTOs Viren Baraiya and Boney Sekh, and CPO Dilip Lukose. Now the team behind creating Conductor are launching Orkes, a cloud-hosted version of the tool based on Conductor and along with this, they’re announcing $9.3 million in funding to fuel the mission, as well as to support the continued growth of the open source Conductor community.īattery Ventures and Vertex Ventures are co-leading the funding, with angel investors in the round including Mahendra Ramsinghani and Gokul Rajaram and unnamed executives from different tech companies, including Amazon and Facebook.

Netflix helped change the game for microservices when it developed and the outsourced a tool called Conductor, initially built to handle its own extensive, multi-channel on-demand video traffic (and correspondingly complex codebase) globally, and later adopted by companies like Tesla, American Express, GitHub, Deutsche Telekom, VMware and some 150 other large organizations and others to manage their own services.
