+# Conductor OSS Roadmap
+
+
+## New Features
+### Type safety for workflow inputs and task input/output through JSON Schema
+
+* Allow type safe workflows and workers with support for JSON schema and protobuf
+* Enable scaffolding code generation for workers through schema for workers using CLI tool
+
+### New System Tasks
+
+* Database task to work with relational & no-sql databases
+* Polling support for HTTP task
+* Operators
+ * * For..Each with parallel and sequential execution
+ * * Improved While loop
+ * *  Try..Catch for improved error handling at the task level
+
+### LLM Integrations
+Conductor is a perfect platform to build your next LLM powered application or incorporating genAI into your applications.
+Enable system tasks for LLM integrations that lets you work with various language models for:
+1. Text completion
+2. Chat completion with memory
+3. Embedding generation
+
+### CLI for Conductor
+Allow developers to manage their conductor instance via CLI.
+
+* Manage metadata
+* Query and manage workflow executions (terminate, pause, resume, retry)
+* Start | Stop manage conductor server
+
+### Support Python as a scripting language for INLINE task
+Extend usability of Conductor by allowing lightweight python code as INLINE tasks.
+
+### New APIs for workflow state management
+
+* Synchronous execution of workflows
+* update workflow variables
+* Update tasks synchronously
+
+## SDKs
+
+* Rust
+* Kotlin
+* C++
+* Ruby
+* Swift
+* Flutter / Dart 
+* PHP
+
+### Worker metrics on server
+Expose an endpoint on the server that can be used by workers to publish worker specific metrics.
+This will allow monitoring metrics for all the workers in a distributed system across the entire system. 
+
+## Testing
+Infrastructure to make workflows easier to test and debug right from the UI and IDE.
+
+### Workflow Debugger
+
+* Ability to debug your workflows during development just like you would do when you write code
+* All functionality of a debugger
+* Breakpoints add/remove
+* Step to next
+* Drop to a certain task that was already executed. (going back in time)
+* Ability to inspect, modify, add input / output parameters
+* Watch Windows to see values of interesting  parameters during execution
+* Attaching to a certain WF execution
+* Remote Task debugging (with SDK Support).. Enable step by step execution in a task worker from the server
+
+## Maintenance
+
+1. Deprecate support for Elasticsearch 6
+2. Update support for newer versions of Elasticsearch
+2. Improve/Fix JOIN task performance (less about making it performant and more about just fixing the usability)  - Done
