Welcome to Orchka

Orchka is a powerful workflow automation platform that lets you design, build, and execute complex workflows through a visual drag-and-drop interface.

Key Features

How it runs

Orchka is two processes: the Next.js web app you interact with, and a separate worker that executes every workflow. They share Postgres and Redis. That split is why the editor stays responsive while a workflow runs for minutes — and why the worker must be deployed as an always-on background service. See Deployment.

Quick Start

Create a Workflow

Navigate to the dashboard and click "New Workflow" to create your first automation.

Add Nodes

Drag nodes from the sidebar onto the canvas. Connect them to define the flow of data.

Configure & Execute

Configure each node's settings, then click "Execute" to run your workflow.

Architecture

Orchka is built on modern web technologies:

  • Next.js 15 - Full-stack React framework with App Router
  • React Flow - Interactive node-based canvas
  • Prisma - Type-safe database ORM
  • BullMQ - Background job processing with Redis
  • LangChain - AI agent orchestration
  • tRPC - End-to-end typesafe APIs
