I need more context to give you a useful recommendation. Both repositories serve different purposes:
[apache/dolphinscheduler] is a data orchestration platform — a distributed workflow scheduler for managing complex task dependencies in data pipelines. Use it if you need:
- A production workflow/DAG scheduler (like Apache Airflow)
- Multi-master, multi-worker distributed architecture
- Built-in job types and high task throughput (millions/day)
- Web UI, Python SDK, or Open API for workflow management
[iflytek/astron-agent] is an AI agent console — a backend system for managing chatbots/assistants with Spring Boot 3.5.4. Use it if you need:
- A backend for AI bot/assistant management
- OAuth2 security and MyBatis Plus ORM patterns
- Bot configuration, API key management, plugin/embedding support
These are fundamentally different tools — not alternatives. Pick dolphinscheduler for workflow orchestration, pick astron-agent for AI assistant management.
What's your project goal? Are you building:
- A workflow scheduler or data pipeline orchestration system?
- An AI agent/chatbot management platform?
- Something else entirely?
That context will let me give you a much more specific recommendation.
FOLLOW_UPS:
- What is the primary use case for your project?
- Do you need workflow orchestration or AI agent management?
- Are there specific features from either repo you're considering?
