This looks incredible!

Is there a way to use this as a managed service?

Are you looking for independent partners/integrators?

For now, we don't provide a SAAS for Kestra, it's definitely on the roadmap and our next project.

In a meantime, we provide different installation : - Docker compose: https://kestra.io/docs/administrator-guide/deployment/docker... - Kubernetes: https://kestra.io/docs/administrator-guide/deployment/kubern... - Jar: https://kestra.io/docs/administrator-guide/deployment/manual...

Kestra is not so complicated to be installed, for Kafka and Elasticsearch, you could use Amazon managed service or Aiven for example.

But be sure that we will provide a managed service as soon as possible

I'm definitely trying it out on my machine this evening.

What's your position on other companies providing managed service of your project?

I've just added Kestra as a fully managed service on Elest.io here: https://elest.io/open-source/kestra

We do deployment, security, remote backups, vm snapshots, monitoring/alerts, automated OS & Software updates, and much more. We launched few weeks ago here on HN

There is a free trial, so you can start and get a working instance of Kestra in less than 5 minutes. Let me know what you think :)

To be honest, we don't have think about that for now. It's a complicated subject.

Hey Tchiotludo, we have a partner program where we give back part of the revenue generated on Elestio to the OSS author every month, if you are interested please contact us through our website and we will be happy to setup the partnership with you :)

You can see here your software already available as a fully managed service: https://elest.io/open-source/kestra

True, you don't have to think about it because it's obvious: Anyone is allowed to provide a managed service of Kestra since you licensed the project under Apache License 2.0. Not that complicated.

emteycz: I say go for it. If you get it up and running, let me know (email in profile) as I'm interested in trying it out as a managed service.

I'm more interested in integrating this into the software/ops of my customers at the moment. I just don't want to run a service right now, I like consulting more.

I have a friend who has a data/ops cloud service. He's been looking for something like this. However in that case Kestra would be hidden behind his abstraction, I guess.

I’d be interested in learning more about your friend’s service.

Are there any instructions on how to build a full docker image with all dependencies and plugins?
Re:Show HN: Kestra - Open-Source Airflow Alternative by tchiotludo on Saturday March 26, 2022 @06:37PM (#30815995)
Sorry, I didn't see your comment before. We provide 2 image tag, one with no plugins and one with all plugin, more information here ; https://kestra.io/docs/administrator-guide/deployment/docker...

In resume, all image exist with tag full containing all plugins

Re:Show HN: Kestra - Open-Source Airflow Alternative by rad_gruchalski on Saturday March 26, 2022 @09:57PM (#30817070)
Hey, no worries. I have seen that page but I wonder if there's a documented way of building an image exactly like your base image. All examples on that page assume FROM kestra:$TAG. Do you have any documentation on how to build that base image so one does not need to rely on your upstream image?
Re:Show HN: Kestra - Open-Source Airflow Alternative by tchiotludo on Sunday March 27, 2022 @02:20PM (#30822614)
There is no documentation for that for now but it's not complicated:

- git clone the project

- ./gradlew executableJar

- cp build/executable/* docker/app/kestra

- docker build -t myimage .

In resume, you just need to have an image providing java 11 and start the executable build by gradle

hope it help

Awesome, thank you!
