The Orchestration and Insights team owns the product lifecycle for the background processing grid for Workday. We are a core part of the Workday stack, working with concurrent and distributed systems to provide a background job processing platform for our internal and external customers. Distributed systems are hard, so we love the elegance that Scala and Akka bring.
Our grid runs mission critical processing for our customers and has a key role in the scalability of Workday’s platform. Our team is constantly innovating and evolving to build the next generation of our critical Workday services.
We are also responsible for Workday’s core service orchestration technologies, which are deployed in Workday’s data center and public cloud environments. We provide orchestration solutions for other Workday development and environments teams, allowing us to reach the next level of scale.
