Orchestrate architecture

Orchestrate implements a microservices architecture composed of APIs and workers which communicate using a publish-subscribe pattern with Apache Kafka as a message broker.

Each API and worker can be configured using its own set of environment variables. The Docker Compose file in the Orchestrate Quickstart provides an example of how to configure and execute the services.

note

Command line options are also available, and take precedence over environment variables.
