What it is

Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration and scheduling platform for data, AI, and infrastructure workflows. It provides a unified engine to execute scheduled and event-triggered jobs written as declarative workflows, handling task orchestration, state management, and execution coordination across distributed environments. Monorepo with a clear separation: cli/ module contains the command-line interface (AbstractApiCommand, BaseCommand, Kestra.java as main entry), charts/ directory holds production Kubernetes Helm deployments (both 'kestra' and 'kestra-starter' charts with ConfigMaps, StatefulSets, Deployments), and a root build.gradle orchestrating multi-project dependencies.…

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.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra.git && cd kestra. The project uses Gradle; install dependencies and build with: ./gradlew build (or gradlew build on Windows). Before running, ve…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Scorecard: dangerous CI workflow (0/10)
  • Java 25 requirement: build.gradle enforces JavaLanguageVersion.of(25); builds will fail silently if older JDK is in PATH. Gradle wrapper: Always use ./gradlew (not system gradle) to ensure build consistency.…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
