conductor vs metamcp

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.; metamcp: MetaMCP is an MCP proxy designed to dynamically aggregate multiple MCP servers into a single unified server, applying custom middlewares. It serves as an infrastructure to host these composed MCP servers via a unified endpoint, compatible with any MCP client through SSE, Streamable HTTP, or OpenAPI.
