Conductor OSS Roadmap

Status key: Done = shipped and available, Partial = partially implemented, Planned = not yet started.

System Tasks and Operators

Status	Item	Details
Done	LLM text completion	LLM_TEXT_COMPLETE system task in ai/ module
Done	LLM chat completion with memory	LLM_CHAT_COMPLETE system task in ai/ module
Done	LLM embedding generation	LLM_GENERATE_EMBEDDINGS system task in ai/ module
Done	Improved While loop (DO_WHILE)	keepLastN iteration cleanup, items list iteration, loopIndex/loopItem injection
Done	Python scripting for INLINE task	PythonEvaluator via GraalVM polyglot alongside JavaScript
Done	Database task	System task for relational and NoSQL database operations
Planned	HTTP task polling	Polling/retry support for the HTTP system task
Planned	For..Each operator	Parallel and sequential iteration operator
Planned	Try..Catch operator	Task-level error handling without failing the workflow

APIs

Status	Item	Details
Done	Synchronous workflow execution	POST /api/workflow/execute/{name}/{version} with configurable wait time and waitUntilTaskRef
Done	Update tasks synchronously	POST /tasks/{workflowId}/{taskRefName}/{status}/sync returns updated workflow
Planned	Update workflow variables	API to update workflow variables during execution

Type Safety

Status	Item	Details
Done	JSON Schema validation	JsonSchemaValidator validates workflow input and task I/O against JSON schemas
Planned	Protobuf support	Type-safe workflows and workers via protobuf definitions
Incubating	Code generation for workers	Scaffold worker code from schema definitions using the CLI

CLI

Status	Item	Details
Done	Conductor CLI	Go-based CLI in conductor-cli/ repo. Manages metadata, workflow executions, and server lifecycle

Testing and Debugging

Status	Item	Details
Planned	Workflow debugger	Full debugger experience: breakpoints, step-through, variable inspection, rewind to previous task, attach to running execution, remote task debugging via SDKs

Maintenance

Status	Item	Details
Done	Deprecate Elasticsearch 6	ES6 module replaced with deprecation stub
Done	Elasticsearch 7 and 8 support	es7-persistence and es8-persistence modules (ES8 uses Java API client)
Done	JOIN task performance	FORK_JOIN synchronous join mode (joinMode=SYNC) reduces polling overhead
