Orchest is a self-hosted, browser-based tool for visually building and running data pipelines using notebooks and scripts in Python, R, or Julia, with no YAML or framework code required. Development has been discontinued; the maintainers recommend Apache Airflow instead.

Use cases

  • build data pipelines visually without writing YAML
  • run Jupyter notebooks as pipeline steps on a schedule
  • orchestrate ETL jobs written in Python, R, or Julia
  • self-host a lightweight Airflow alternative for data workflows
  • train and compare machine learning models in reproducible pipelines
  • run dbt or PySpark steps inside a data pipeline

When to choose

  • you want a visual, notebook-first pipeline builder you can self-host
  • your team prefers writing plain Python/R/Julia over DAG definitions
  • you need periodic scheduled runs of data processing jobs

When to avoid

  • you need a workflow orchestrator under active development and maintenance
  • you require production-grade scheduling at scale - use Apache Airflow instead
  • you need long-term support or community fixes for bugs
