Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

High-level architecture

Please have a look at the high-level architecture available at Conductor documentation (provided at https://bit.ly/2Gu8Jr8). Conductor provides following APIs for managing the workflows:

• Metadata: It allows you to define the blueprints of workflows and tasks, which are called workflow definitions and task definitions respectively.
• Workflows: It allows the management of the workflow, such as starting the workflow.
• Tasks: It allows you to retrieve tasks and execute them. You can refer task as step of workflow or process.

The service and store layers are internal to Netflix Conductor. The default persistence implementation in Netflix Conductor uses Dynomite and in-memory Elasticsearch.
