This appears to be the high level architecture: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:4800/format:webp/0*SDt... . To me seems to overengineered for most of the companies outside there, how many people do you need to manage it?

That chart has real Krazam Microservices vibes to it.

All time great Youtube video. Still heavily relevant today.

I was hoping to try this out, but it doesn't build on my mac :/ Here's their tech blog post about it: https://netflixtechblog.com/orchestrating-data-ml-workflows-...

It doesn't build on windows either. It looks to be missing some dependency. > Did not resolve 'com.github.vmg.protogen:protogen-annotations:1.0.0' which is part of the dependency lock state

I get a similar error

1) Scheduling seems to be primitive? (strategy: sequential) 2) That's seems to be just a DAG executor? No high-level frontend? 3) No executiun context? 4) No typings? 5) No concept of a stream?

It would be way too ambitious to call this thing an orchestrator, it seems to be just a primitive distributed DAG executor.

I was just thinking didn't Netflix already have its own workflow engine: https://github.com/Netflix/conductor , but found out it's archived/EOL so this makes more sense now.
