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
