• Cosmos gateway, the API that provides unified ingress into the platform across the different workflow solutions which also provides a lightweight api to directly invoke Stratum media processing functions
• Integrations with Netflix Conductor for workflow orchestration
• Emirax graph, a java based DAG workflow library
• Emirax rules, a DSL which is an extension of groovy tailor-made for complex media processing workflow orchestration and media catalog state management
