Automation that runs
when infrastructure breaks.
Deploy software bots across distributed nodes — no central orchestrator, no single point of failure. Purpose-built for DevOps teams tired of UiPath licensing sprawl, healthcare networks that can't route data through a vendor's cloud, and logistics firms stitching together legacy ERPs.
Bots deployed to nodes, not to a server that owns them.
Traditional RPA requires a central orchestrator that every bot phones home to. When it goes down, everything stops. Orchestrate deploys bot agents directly to distributed nodes — your infra, your control, no vendor in the critical path.
Lightweight open-source agent (12MB) installs on any Linux, Windows, or container host. No inbound firewall rules required.
Nodes form a peer-to-peer mesh using mTLS. Task routing is consensus-based — no single node is authoritative.
Visual drag-and-drop interface with 200+ pre-built connectors. Export workflows as versioned YAML for GitOps pipelines.

Building a business case for decentralized RPA?
Download our 24-page architecture whitepaper. No sales call required.
Real-time observability without routing telemetry through vendor infrastructure.
Every metric — latency, throughput, error rates, queue depth — is collected and stored in-region. No sampling, no aggregation delay, no data leaving your network.
Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint on every node. Scrape from your existing Grafana or DataDog stack.
Per-workflow latency breakdowns at 10ms resolution. Identify bottlenecks before they cascade into SLA breaches.
Every task execution, parameter change, and node event is appended to an append-only log with cryptographic integrity.
12× capacity on demand. No config files, no vendor approval.
Spin up new nodes and they join the mesh automatically. The cluster rebalances task distribution within 2 seconds. Scale down cleanly — in-flight tasks complete before nodes drain.
New nodes discover the mesh via DNS or static peer list. Cryptographic attestation prevents unauthorized nodes.
Consistent hashing distributes tasks across available nodes. New capacity is utilized within 2 seconds of joining.
Nodes entering maintenance mode complete in-flight tasks before accepting no new work. Zero dropped executions.
HIPAA-compliant by architecture, not by policy checkbox.
Healthcare and financial data never leaves your network perimeter. Zero-trust IAM means every bot is scoped to exactly the systems it needs — nothing more.
Explicit data residency policies prevent task data from crossing region boundaries. Enforced at the mesh protocol level.
Each bot receives a scoped credential with minimum necessary permissions. Credentials rotate automatically on a configurable schedule.
Orchestrate nodes operate without internet access. Suitable for classified, air-gapped, or offline-first deployments.
340ms average failover. Automations don't notice when nodes go dark.
When a node fails, its queued and in-progress tasks redistribute to healthy peers within milliseconds. No manual intervention, no alerting-before-recovery sequences, no lost work.
Nodes exchange heartbeats every 50ms. A missed heartbeat triggers pre-emptive task migration before timeout is confirmed.
Long-running tasks checkpoint state every 100ms. Failover resumes from the last checkpoint — not from the beginning.
The mesh votes on node health. Split-brain scenarios are prevented by requiring quorum before declaring a node failed.
The teams who stopped tolerating centralized RPA.
Real outcomes from DevOps leads, IT directors, and operations architects who moved to distributed automation.
"We cut our UiPath licensing spend by 68% in the first quarter. The decentralized model means we're not paying for a central server that becomes a single point of failure — that alone justified the migration."
"HIPAA compliance was the blocker. Every other RPA vendor wanted our patient data routing through their cloud. Orchestrate runs entirely within our private network — our compliance team signed off in two weeks."
"We have SAP, Oracle JDE, and a 15-year-old AS/400 all running simultaneously. Orchestrate was the first platform that connected all three without custom middleware. The legacy ERP connectors are genuinely production-grade."
Deploy your first bot in 10 minutes.
Architecture review or self-serve sandbox — your choice. No vendor cloud, no licensing calls.
Your infrastructure will fail.
Your automations don't have to.
Join 340+ engineering teams who moved their automation off centralized platforms and onto distributed nodes that keep running when the network doesn't cooperate.
