Orchestration has been a patchwork: fragile schedulers, vendor lock-in, hand-rolled scripts, and black-box platforms that slow delivery and break governance.

Kestra 1.0 (LTS) unifies data, AI, infrastructure, and business operations under one declarative control plane. Tell the system what you want; Kestra figures out the how, with full auditability and human-in-the-loop approvals.

What is new in 1.0

AI Copilot

Describe what you want to orchestrate in natural language, and Copilot generates declarative YAML code you can refine, version, and deploy.

AI Copilot

AI Agents

AI-native agents powered by OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Mistral, Bedrock, Vertex AI, DeepSeek, and Ollama, combining memory with tools like Web Search, Code Execution, MCP clients, and File System ops to adapt, loop, and orchestrate until goals are met, all fully observable and governed.

AI Agents Overview

Official MCP Server

Connect Kestra to AI IDEs & agents frameworks via the Model Context Protocol; manage flows and executions from your AI workspace.

Why Use Declarative Orchestration For AI Agents

Define Goals, Not Tasks

Define Goals, Not Tasks

Describe the desired outcome and constraints; let agents handle the execution details.

Autonomous by Design

Autonomous by Design

Agents can choose the next best action dynamically, while the declarative model ensures repeatable version-controlled code.

Governed And Auditable

Governed And Auditable

Every decision is logged and observable, so you keep oversight without limiting your iteration speed.

Pioneered

We pioneered declarative orchestration. With 1.0, AI elevates that paradigm; teams express intent in natural language while maintaining full governance.

Fewer moving parts

Reduce tool sprawl and operational overhead.

Lower infrastructure costs

Consolidate systems and cut redundant infrastructure.

Faster delivery

Move from prototypes to production without friction.

Consistent governance

Enforce versioning, auditing, and compliance by default.
