conductor vs dunetrace

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.; dunetrace: Dunetrace monitors every run of AI agents in real-time, detecting structural failures like tool loops, retry storms, and context bloat within 15 seconds of completion. It fires alerts via Slack or webhook, provides plain-English explanations, and offers one-click fixes through Langfuse or GitHub PRs.
