Kestra Core Features

Declarative & Scalable by Design.

Orchestration & Business Logic Separation

Kestra lets you define workflow logic (conditions, loops, error handling) independently from business logic. This separation keeps orchestration lightweight, modular, and easy to scale. Business logic stays decoupled from the orchestrator.

Built-In Execution Controls

Every task in Kestra has a built-in orchestration powerhouse: conditional branching logic, retry policies, error handling, concurrency and timeout, worker group assignment, automatic log management and more. No custom code needed to benefit from those capabilities.

Static & Dynamic Properties

Kestra tasks support both static values and dynamic expressions. Use fixed values for simplicity, or inject runtime values using templating syntax to adapt based on data, inputs, or conditions. This lets you build reusable, context-aware workflows without sacrificing clarity or maintainability.

Code in Any Language

Kestra can run code in any language without forcing you to rewrite your code to match a rigid framework DSL. Kestra executes your scripts directly, in a local subprocess or in a Docker container. handles inputs and outputs, and captures logs. You can import and edit your code from the integrated Namespace Files editor.

Out of the Box Features

Add New Workflows in Minutes.

Declarative Workflow Definition

Strong typing with autocompletion, support through YAML and blueprints, and an intuitive UI with live topology views. Everything to build, validate, and visualize workflows.

Code Faster Without Boilerplate

Spend less time babysitting orchestration code. Define task dependencies in a natural order, run steps sequentially, in parallel, or conditionally all without digging through complex logic.

Event-Driven Workflow Execution

Run workflows on a schedule or trigger them automatically in response to real-time events like new data, files, messages, or completed workflows.

API First Design

Automate anything, execute and monitor workflows in real time, see executions start instantly, follow task progress live, and access logs and results as they happen.
