★ 1,394 GitHub BSD-3-Clause automationworkflowyamltask-orchestrationdevops Automation Tools

Overview

uTask is an open-source automation engine by OVH that models and executes business processes declared in YAML. Instead of writing glue code, you describe your workflows declaratively: tasks, steps, dependencies, conditions and retries are all defined in readable configuration files. It ships with a web dashboard for tracking runs, a REST API for integration, and a plugin system for custom task implementations, making it a strong self-hosted alternative to proprietary workflow orchestration platforms.
