Dray
A RESTful engine for orchestrating sequential Docker container workflows, marshaling data between steps.
What is Dray?
Dray is an engine for managing the execution of container-based workflows. It enables users to define jobs as sequences of Docker containers, where each container encapsulates a discrete task, and Dray handles the orchestration and data flow between them. This approach is particularly useful for automating complex, multi-step processes like data pipelines, provisioning tasks, or batch processing.
Developers and DevOps engineers who need to automate multi-step processes using Docker containers, such as building data pipelines, provisioning infrastructure, or running batch jobs. It is suited for those who want to chain single-purpose task containers together in a reproducible manner.
Dray extends Docker beyond long-running services by treating containers as isolated, single-purpose tasks that can be chained together into reproducible workflows, promoting modularity and automation. It provides a simple RESTful API for job management and handles data marshaling between steps, similar to Unix pipes, making it easy to integrate and automate complex workflows.
