Important notes

Warning

Dify: Dify's modified Apache 2.0 restricts multi-tenant deployment and requires retaining Dify branding without a commercial license.

Warning

LangFlow: DataStax Cloud is shutting down April 9, 2026. Self-hosting remains available.

Warning

n8n: n8n uses a Sustainable Use License, not MIT or Apache 2.0. It is more accurately described as source-available.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does orchestration differ from agent frameworks in this tracker?

    Orchestration covers workflow engines, pipeline builders, and automation layers that compose deterministic and probabilistic steps. Agent frameworks specifically orchestrate LLM-driven autonomous loops. Some tools (Prefect, Dagster, Temporal) sit in orchestration; LangGraph and Semantic Kernel sit in agents.

  • Which orchestration tools support EU data residency?

    Self-hostable orchestrators (Prefect, Dagster, Temporal, n8n, Flowise) inherit residency from where you deploy them. Managed SaaS tools list their data-residency options directly on the per-tool governance posture page.

  • Are deprecated orchestration platforms still tracked?

    Yes — deprecated and archived tools remain on the hub with a clear 'deprecated' status and a status note explaining the deprecation, so teams evaluating migration paths can see the full picture.
