What it is

Apache DolphinScheduler is a modern, decentralized workflow orchestration platform written primarily in Java with TypeScript frontend, designed to handle complex data pipeline task dependencies at scale (tens of millions of tasks/day). It provides drag-and-drop workflow creation, multi-master/multi-worker architecture, and native support for horizontal scaling across multiple clouds and data centers. Multi-component monorepo with clear separation: deploy/ contains Docker Compose, Kubernetes Helm charts (deploy/kubernetes/dolphinscheduler/), and Terraform AWS infrastructure; plugins system under config/plugins_config; multi-language support (10.3M Java, 2M TypeScript, 41K Shell, 19K Python)…

Start here

Open these first:

• README.md — Defines project vision, deployment modes (Standalone, Cluster, Docker, Kubernetes), and core feature set for understanding…
• deploy/kubernetes/dolphinscheduler/Chart.yaml — Helm chart entry point defining Kubernetes deployment structure, versions, and orchestration configuration.
• deploy/kubernetes/dolphinscheduler/values.yaml — Central configuration file for all Kubernetes deployment parameters, resource limits, and component tuning.
• dolphinscheduler-alert/dolphinscheduler-alert-plugins/dolphinscheduler-alert-api/src/main… — Core plugin interface for alert channels, establishing the contract all alert implementations must follow.
• deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml — Docker Compose orchestration template showing all services, networking, and local development environment setup.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/apache/dolphinscheduler.git
cd dolphinscheduler
# Verify Maven pom.xml exists for Java build; TypeScript frontend indicated by 2M LOC
mvn clean install  # inferred from Maven pom.xml structure

Refer to deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml or deploy/kubernetes/ for deployment verification before local dev setup.

Daily commands:

Evidence incomplete in provided data. Standard Maven project: mvn clean compile or mvn spring-boot:run (inferred from Java monolith). For containerized: docker-compose -f deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml up or `he…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Multi-database requirement: Platform requires external database backend (not obvious from README); configuration templates show support for multiple backends with corresponding secret management…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
