Solutions / Migration

Migrate from Netflix Conductor to Unmeshed

We offer an easy path to move your existing Netflix Conductor flows to Unmeshed and start benefiting from stronger performance, reduced operational complexity, and broader platform capabilities.

If you are paying for Netflix Conductor (OSS operations or commercial alternatives), migration is often the fastest way to materially improve performance, cost efficiency, and developer experience on the same business workflows.

Netflix Conductor migration

Why Netflix Conductor users choose Unmeshed

Teams evaluating migration usually care about three outcomes: measurable performance gains, lower run cost, and a dramatically better day-to-day developer experience. Unmeshed is designed to deliver all three.

Performance

Move from constrained orchestration throughput to high-volume execution with lower latency and more headroom.

Current experience: Throughput ceilings and dependency-heavy runtime patterns can limit scale as workload volume grows.

Unmeshed experience: Built for high-throughput orchestration with target improvements like moving from around 10/sec to 10,000/sec for suitable workloads.

Business outcome: Run more business-critical workflows without scaling pain or brittle operational tuning.

Price

Reduce total cost with a leaner runtime model and less operational overhead.

Current experience: High infrastructure footprints and maintenance-heavy dependencies can increase platform cost over time.

Unmeshed experience: Efficient execution model helps teams reduce infra spend and ongoing maintenance cost.

Business outcome: Reallocate budget from platform overhead to product delivery and automation expansion.

User Experience

Improve developer productivity with modern authoring and cleaner operational workflows.

Current experience: Authoring and day-2 operations often require additional effort across tooling and debugging surfaces.

Unmeshed experience: Visual workflow design, clear step semantics, and stronger search/observability simplify daily execution.

Business outcome: Teams ship faster, debug faster, and onboard engineers with less friction.

Why teams migrate

  • Drop-in migration path for existing Netflix Conductor workflow patterns.
  • Lower infrastructure and maintenance cost with fewer moving parts.
  • Direct enterprise support from the team behind Netflix Conductor and Unmeshed.
  • Visual workflow builder plus API-first controls for faster delivery.
  • Advanced search and execution visibility for production operations.
  • Security and compliance support including RBAC and audit traceability.
  • Run both asynchronous and synchronous orchestration use cases.
  • Feature compatibility that helps teams migrate quickly with low disruption.

Migration confidence for engineering teams

The migration path is explicit and documented in detail so teams can move with confidence and minimal guesswork.

  • Terminology and schema mappings are documented: Workflow -> Process, Task -> Step, Decision -> Switch Case.
  • Core step equivalents are covered with examples: Worker, HTTP, WAIT, SWITCH, and TERMINATE alternatives (EXIT/FAIL).
  • Variable, reference, and structure differences are clear (`tasks` vs `steps`, `taskReferenceName` vs `ref`, `${...}` vs `{{ ... }}`).
  • Guided migration path is available for teams moving from OSS or commercial Netflix Conductor deployments.
