conductor vs inspectr

conductor: Conductor is an open-source, scalable microservices orchestration engine originally built at Netflix. It empowers developers to define and manage resilient, distributed, and asynchronous workflows across various services and systems.; inspectr: Inspectr is a lightweight and high-performance API Proxy designed for reviewing, analyzing, and debugging API requests, MCP tool calls, and webhook events. It also offers a built-in tunnel option for securely sharing local services publicly, streamlining integration testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting payload issues.
