conductor vs janee

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.; janee: Janee is an MCP server designed to manage API secrets for AI agents, preventing them from directly accessing sensitive keys. It enforces policies, logs all requests, and provides fine-grained access control to ensure secure and auditable API interactions for autonomous agents.
